In an exciting partnership with the HandsOn Network, The Lost Colony has
been approved as a participating volunteer opportunity in Disney's "Give
a Day. Get a Disney Day" volunteer program.
The program celebrates the spirit of volunteer service with an exciting
benefit: one million people who perform volunteer service for a
participating organization will receive a free one-day admission ticket
to a Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort theme park. The
program kicked off on January 1, 2010.

www.DisneyParks.com where opportunities are posted. You must be 18 years
of age or older to sign up. Children must be at least 6 years of age to

December 15, 2010 or until all tickets are distributed.
"We have many dedicated volunteers already and we are excited to offer
our volunteers this opportunity," says Lost Colony Volunteer Director
Mary Salem. "We are hoping that this program will entice others to
assist us in our volunteer opportunities." Other area organizations that
participate in the program include the SPCA of Northeastern NC, Habitat
