VOLUNTEERS ARE HONORED AT THE NATIONAL WATCH AND CLOCK MUSEUM
COLUMBIA, PA: Thirty-five volunteers for the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors gave over 3,600 hours of service last year. They were honored at a luncheon at the Museum on April 28.
Volunteer Judy Anttonen earned the Volunteer of the Year award for her donating 240 hours to the Library and Research Center and Collections area of the Museum.
Judy, a resident of Lancaster County, is a retired special education teacher, having taught special needs students for 30 years. Along with keeping fit by running, swimming, and golfing, she and her husband have a radio show at Millersville University where they play the “Oldies but Goodies” each Saturday. When asked about her experience at the Museum, Judy comments, “I look forward to my days at the Museum where I have learned so much about horology and timepieces and have seen the passion members have for watches and clocks. While working with databases, I enjoy researching, archiving, and adding images to the database of the collection and have even had the opportunity to write a couple of columns for the Association’s bimonthly journal.
