BAR HARBOR – The Abbe Museum has scheduled orientation meetings for new and current volunteers 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, May 20 and 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, May 21, at the new downtown museum at 26 Mount Desert St.

The museum needs volunteers for both the new Abbe and the historic, seasonal museum at Sieur de Monts Spring. Volunteers play an important role by greeting visitors, answering questions and making sure people enjoy their time. For the volunteer, working with the Abbe provides opportunities for personal enrichment. For information about volunteering, contact Cynthia Crow at 288-3519 or e-mail her at abbecc@midmaine.com.
