HMNS Overnight dates for 2005-2006 are November 18-19, December 9-10, January 13-14, January 27-28, and April 7-8.

Program Aides interested in volunteering for HMNS Overnights must attend a mandatory training session on January 12, from 4:30 - 5:15 p.m. at the Museum.  Sign-up for specific Overnight placements will occur during the training session.  If interested, please contact Allison Seeman, HMNS overnights coordinator, at aeseeman@hmns.org by January 6th.
