Friends of the Appalachian Trail Museum,

The Appalachian Trail Museum will open next summer at the Old Mill in Pine Grove Furnace State Park. We are holding a meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday Jan. 10 at the education center at nearby Kings Gap State Park to inaugurate the volunteer program. We invite anyone who may be interested to attend and ask that you circulate this where you think appropriate such as club newsletters and websites. I would be happy to respond to any questions.

Volunteer greeters, also known as docents, are needed to help staff the Appalachian Trail Museum which will open in the Old Mill at Pine Grove Furnace State Park on June 5, 2010.

Greeters will welcome guests to the museum and provide basic information in response to visitor's questions. Greeters provide a friendly presence - they are people who enjoy meeting visitors. Love of the outdoors is helpful but no special knowledge is required.

Being a greeter is a great way to make new friends, give something back to your community, learn more about the things that interest you, and share with others. Everyone is welcome to volunteer - outdoor lovers, hikers, educators, history buffs; those under 18 years of age need to be accompanied and supervised by an adult while volunteering.

An orientation session will be held for all those interested in the Docent Program or other volunteer opportunities with the A.T. Museum on Sunday, January 10, 2010, at 2 p.m. at Kings Gap Environmental Center, 500 Kings Gap Road, Carlisle, Pa. 17013.

If possible, please RSVP to info@atmuseum.org. For questions, please contact Larry Luxenberg at 845-708-5306.

Thank you for your interest and support,
- Larry Luxenberg, Museum Society President
