Docents choose which groups they would like to lead. Clipping The museum collects information for its library and public relations department via the newspaper. We are in need of a person to come in once a week to clip the articles out of the newspaper so that our staff may copy them for museum files. This takes about an hour if done weekly. The museum's Education Afloat Program scheduled for the summer of 2001 offers opportunites to teach children about boat safety.
