What an opportunity! Our Boatshop Manager Joel is looking for one or two special folk to act as Boatshop docents.

You'll become a veritable fixture in this rare space set on the charming Port Townsend Bay waterfront. Must love engaging the public through orientation, touring, demonstration, and storytelling. Must be available to hold down a regular ongoing schedule. This role comes with major benefits. You'll be awarded bench space, tool storage, and access to the boatshop! Yes, work on your project and/or help others with theirs when there's no visitors to chat with. Come meet Joel and here it all from the horse's mouth so to speak. He'll be opening up the shop, have the BBQ fired up with some brats and cold brew for a casual informative evening. Start your Memorial Weekend off learning about a new venture: Friday, May 24th at 5:30 PM **RSVP to Roberta by May 22 please: Office 360-385-3628 ext. 115 Cell 360-316-1570 volunteer@nwmaritime.org
