Volunteer Opportunities

At the Museum: Depending upon your abilities and interests, there are a variety of volunteer opportunities at the Museum from helping to docent, special clean up and repair projects, or assisting with research and collections. For Museum opportunities, please contact the Museum Director.

Guild Programs in the Merced Room of the Pacelli Gym: Volunteers can help by bringing refreshments, raffle items, helping sell books or raffle tickets, and staying to the end of the program to assist with clean up. Come to our program and speak to any member of the board to offer your help. We also need help with a variety of tasks for ongoing fund raising activities.

General membership is $25 a year for an individual or family living at the same address. Benefits include all privileges of membership (voting rights, eligibility to serve on the Board, etc.), four copies of The Tattler newsletter a year, and updates and notices sent to members with an email. We provide four history lectures (member meetings) in the Merced Room of the Pacelli Gym with refreshments free to the general public.
