40 volunteers help VOA Museum with spring cleaning

Forty high school and university students across greater Cincinnati spruced
up the National VOA Museum of Broadcasting March 8 during its second annual
'Work Day'.

Students from University of Cincinnati; LaSalle High School; Fenwick High
School; Lakota East and Lakota West high schools; and Mason High School
moved heavy boxes of radio equipment; washed windows and exhibit cases; and
moved the QSL Bureau’s bookcases and collections to an upstairs location.
Volunteers were treated to a
pizza party and tour of the museum.

“We had a huge turnout of volunteers and are extremely grateful for their
good attitudes and muscle power,� said Jack Dominic, VOA museum executive
director. “It was a lot of fun.� QSL cards confirm two-way radio
communications or reception of radio signals. They are used by radio
amateurs and shortwave radio stations. The VOA museum’s QSL Bureau
facilitates the exchange of verification cards from foreign stations for
amateur radio operators in Region 8, which consists of Ohio, Michigan and
West Virginia.

Dominic said the museum is in need of volunteers on an ongoing basis to
help with data entry and getting visitor files up to date; organizing
archived materials; light building maintenance; docents and speakers to be
booked at small church and civic group meetings; and help with website
redesign and social media. All volunteers will be trained and supervised.
Volunteers should be high school age and older.
