As we all know, in order for visitors to be provided access to a lighthouse, dedicated and responsible volunteers are needed – and not just to “open the door,” but to engage people in both a meaningful and educational manner as well.
Jean Singer is one such volunteer at Owls Head Lighthouse. Not only did Jean volunteer for her regular shifts this year, she was also willing to fill-in vacant volunteer slots on late notice. Jean staffs both the entryway to the lighthouse, where she welcomes visitors with a smile and readily answers a myriad of questions, and topside as well, sharing historical information and fielding an array of questions about the beautiful fourth-order Fresnel lens which adorns the lantern.
We are pleased to honor Jean Singer with a 2023 Len Hadley Volunteer Award!
