Re-Cap: 1st Annual Volunteer Appreciation Night!

On Thursday, September 4th we had our 1st Annual Volunteer Appreciation Night down at Bonner’s Point. 
Everyone brought food and beverages to share in good ol’ potluck fashion, and the picnic tables were put to good use! 
There was a lot of conversing between new, and old, friends and many laughs to be shared, on top of all of the good eating!

All of the staff at Historic Bath Site appreciate our volunteers! We, honestly, don’t know what we would do without them.
Thank you is said a lot….but it’s not said enough! 
So, once again, we say THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers.

Thank you for coming out for the 1st Appreciation Night…
Thank you for learning new skills to help us out with new, and old, programming….
Thank you for giving your time to help the Site, and us, out….
Thank you for all that you donate and all that you do….
And THANK YOU for putting huge smiles on our faces!

Savannah – Volunteer of the Year
Bill – Giving of Most Hours
Sallie – Beautification Efforts

Special mention goes to the Historic Bath Garden Club and Blanche.

Garden Update!

The garden behind the Van Der Veer House has been growing and producing by leaps and bounds since the last time you saw garden pictures over a week ago! We’ve been pretty busy with the Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit and completing the finishing touches of our “Pirate Past Times Day Camp” lately….but every morning we notice, when coming in to work, how much is happening in our garden. Our volunteers are, seriously, the best. This garden could never have happened, or looked so beautiful, without them creating and tending to it! We cannot shout enough praises or say “thank you” enough.

Below is a small sample of pictures taken in our garden this morning! If you’re able to….why don’t you stop by and take a few pictures yourself?!
