If you are coming to “Moon Day” to assist DARC and have not signed up – that’s okay – we’ll take your help.
Please come to the museum wearing some club or radio identification and say you are VOLUNTEERING and helping the DARC when you arrive. Museum staff should let you in (SKIP the long line). Do NOT pay to get in. We will be monitoring 146.880Mhz Pl. 110.9, and say you need assistance at the front door.
Please expect to stay for an hour or two. There’s plenty to do and we’ll make sure you have plenty of time to view the exhibits, lectures, and activities. It’s that much fun!
