Our youngest volunteer!


Last night, we had a wonderful reception honoring our amazing volunteers! This year, they put in over 650 hours working at the tower and the museum gift shop.  No matter how many or how few hours they are able to contribute, our volunteers are dedicated to keeping the lighthouse one of the premier destinations in Maryland and we couldn't do it without them!  Some have been volunteering for 30 years!  What a fantastic group of people.

At the reception we were visited by two very special guests.  First, Matilda O'Neill (played by Susan Wooden) came to tell us some very entertaining stories about her father, John.  And, Mayor Wayne Dougherty also took time from his extremely busy schedule to come by and compliment our volunteers and share his appreciation of all of their hard work.  Thank you, Mayor and Matilda!

And, the best part is that there is always room for new volunteers to join us and be a part of this great group.  If you are interested in volunteering at the lighthouse or museum, please contact us through our website at www.concordpointlighthouse.org, our email: concordpointlighthouse@verizon.net or call us at 410-939-3213.  We welcome you!
