The culmination of the 2005 volunteer Appreciation Reception is always the presentation of the Volunteer of
the year award. This year, the honor goes to long-time volunteer Brian Dice. Brian started with us back in 1995 and has accumulated well over 300 hours of volunteer time between January 1 & October 31 this year. (see listings, below) Easy going, personable and diversely gifted, Brian is willing to do almost anything for the Museum! From tarring the outdoor exhibit area and working with his dad to paint parking lot lines and accents, to giving tours on the tug, to building maintenance, to helping with mailings and other administrative jobs, the list is endless. Brian is also a skilled recruiter, having brought to the volunteer roster, not only his old scout troop, but his parents and some of his friends and acquaintances. Congratulations Brian and thank you for all you do! |

We’re
heading west again this year and invite you to come along on a great
fall trip to Buffalo’s Shea’s Performing Arts Center
to experience Lerner & Loewe’s smash hit
performed on the big stage by a national touring company. If you’ve seen it before, here’s your chance to enjoy it again – a real Broadway production with all the trimmings and you won’t have to go to New York City to see it. If this is your first time, you’re in for a spectacular treat – wonderful songs and beautiful costumes in a musical version of George Bernard Shaw’s original story, PYGMALION – what’s not to like! Our day will begin with an afternoon visit to the |

Recently,
the staff and terminal manager of Sprague Energy’s Oswego Terminal,
one of our neighbors in the Historic Maritime District, presented us a
check for $1000. Sprague employees cited the Marine Museum’s
year ‘round programming efforts as the reason for their selection. |
|
Representatives
of Sprague Energy headquarters, in Portsmouth, NH, recently visited
Oswego to present the Sprague 2004 “Terminal of the Year” award to
their Oswego company site, located at the foot of West First Street.
Sprague Energy has been located in Oswego since 1989, and
receives petroleum products from Canada.
The oil is transported by truck to NYS customers throughout the
year. The award is
presented to the terminal that excels in safety, training, regulatory
compliance, cost control, customer satisfaction and administrative
excellence. Oswego received
the highest customer satisfaction approval rating on the Driver Survey
this past year! Congratulations! |
