VOLUNTEER DINNER Every year we honor the hundreds of volunteers who give thousands of hours to the Core Sound Museum’s many projects and needs. We have been saying this for thirty-some years, but the truth remains, “We cannot do it without you!” Would you like to join us? We welcome you – no matter your age, skill level, interests, experiences! There’s a place here for you. Join here: CoreSound.com/volunteer-application Dr. Ike presents our front desk volunteer Patsy Godwin the “beautiful smile” award for her beaming positive attitude every Saturday! Donovan Guthrie earns his “silver spoon” for his pot of clam chowder at the CHOW DOWN in December. (He’s ready for next year!) Our YOUNG PEOPLE are our FUTURE! A special thanks to the ECHS FFA for this continued commitment to the CSWM&HC. Core Sound’s 2023 Volunteer Appreciation Dinner Sponsored by … Dogwood Bank Chalk & Gibbs Duke Energy Turner Family Farms Thank you! 49

From focusing their gifts on retiring short-term construction debt to supplementing resources after Florence to secure a commercial-grade metal roof, LIFETIME MEMBERS have been the fiscal backbone of our work. With a one-time gift/pledge of $5,000, this group of almost 180+ (as of May 2021) LIFETIME MEMBERS has provided funding for the huge undertakings as well as the unexpected setbacks over the past almost 10+ years. They have supported the difficult decisions we have had to make “on faith” to keep the Core Sound Museum’s facility in good working order. Once again, the leadership, faith and commitment of LIFETIME MEMBERS have provided resources for our institution during critical times. We Need YOU! 50

CORE SOUND’S SEASON Welcome to We’ve come a long way… In 1999 as the Museum was operating from its original location (in the old clinic building next door to the fire department) growing membership, raising money and keeping construction underway on site, the first weekend of December was a one-weekend event. Those of us who were here during those days as we evolved from the decoy festival at the school to draw people to see this beautiful building “at the end of the road,” we worked all year to make this weekend – Waterfowl Weekend – the showcase of all that had been accomplished each year. But not anymore… Our Christmas begins Downtown at 806… And reaches all the way to “the end of the road” on Harkers Island! Core Sound’s now famous “Tree of Pots” – a true “crabpot tree” – now a longstanding Christmas tradition on Harkers Island 806 is always beautiful at Christmas! Those Island Anchors shine all year long, but Christmas is the best! Our archway, new in 2022, made our bridge magical. Remembering our lost Coresounders – Jake, Noah, Daily, Kylie, Stephanie and Hunter - at Christmas and every day. Our sign and anchor – a welcome sign all year long. 62
GALLERY OF TREES From the first days of November until the quiet days of January, Core Sound is a mixture of stories, traditions, celebrations and community. Gatherings bring together friends and families to remember, honor, reflect. The Gallery of Trees has become a county-wide experience, an inside extension of the “lights of Harkers Island” that truly are back and shining strong. “Core Sound Season” now begins when the wind shifts in fall and everyone begins to think toward the holidays and home, the first weekend of December is now a homecoming and a reminder of why this Museum is important all-year-long. The trees are beautiful, each one tells a story, each one represents our community with creativity and love. “All Things Smith” Billy’s Room is always a welcoming place – especially at Christmas David’s Room, still a wonderful place to be Jeff and the Dark Skies’ Tree Our Core Sound Quilters and their tree of handmade decorations Lewis Family Boatbuilding Traditions The Story of Wayne Davis 63
Waterfowl Weekend, that “weekend of all weekends,” is still our Weekend to share all that has been accomplished over the past thirty-some years, to welcome old friends and new, to remind us all why “this place” is way more than a building or a place to be, but rather a community of communities – especially at Christmas.

As this year comes to a close, and we prepare to step into 2024, we thank all who have made this past year, and all the years before, possible. Because of you – your trust, your work, your giving – we now have an institution that is much more than a building, but rather an institution, an outreach, a safe place for our communities to build a vision for the years ahead. We are now more than a destination to visit or a venue for an event. We are a community of communities grounded in generations of strong minds and hard work determined to hold on to the heritage that has defined us since our ancestors landed on these sandy, now soggy, shores. We are here to stay. We are here to honor, celebrate, and share our past in a way that reinforces our connections to this place and one another as we face the changes that would sweep less determined, less committed, less grounded people away. Not us. We are here to keep our community spirit strong in ways great and small, never forgetting who – and whose – we are, where we’re from, and the responsibilities we have to our children and theirs. WE will do this important work through community events and heritage projects, education programs, exhibitions that tell our stories, by sharing archives, listening to the voices of the past, recording our voices for the future, cooking the old way, supporting our fishermen, honoring our traditions, being the Coresounders we were born to be. Thanks to sponsors, volunteers, members, partners, visitors, contributors and a tireless staff, we can do all these things here “ at the end of the road.” It takes us all. And we need YOU, your time and talents, and your gifts – whatever they may be. Thirty-one years has seen many people come and go, everyone along the way giving as they could, and a few of us are still here as others have joined and we remain steadfast to the vision. We are proud and honored to still be here – giving, working, believing in this vision. Thank you from the Director & Staff Why We Are Here Will you join us? All are welcome here! Karen & Crew 66
Thank you Reflections At the End of the Year from the the Chairman of the Board Lockwood Phillips Board of Directions, Chairman 2015-2023 When directing folks to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center, the staff will say “we’re at the end of the road in Harkers Island.” I always point out that since the country was built from the east to west, in reality the Heritage Center is actually located at the “beginning of the road - not the end.” That is a little poetic and philosophical license, but it is accurate. It aptly describes what the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center is a starting point. One of the primary purposes of a vibrant museum and heritage center such as that found “at the end of the road” in Harkers Island is that it does show us our initial roots, our “beginnings,” if you will. As we celebrate 31 years of archiving the stories, the artifacts and history of Down East Carteret County, we should also celebrate the 31st year of a new beginning for the region and the state. A beginning that will preserve something that is unique - a heritage that can only be found here in coastal North Carolina. Randy Ramsey, a lifetime member and major supporter, made note of this special place that is the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center. “When I meet people and tell them where I call home, they often ask about the “Decoy” Museum,” he told a crowd attending a special 30th anniversary celebration. “We all know there are decoys, but it is really about a way of life and people; it is about heritage; mulleting, carving, menhaden, boat building, oysters, stewed hard crabs, crab pot trees, quilts, anchors, community churches and schools, the spirit and talents and challenges of the people, and so much more. It is woven into the threads of our community and has become a way for others around the country to experience a small part of why we love where we live ….” Randy went on to note that this could not have happened had not a small group of dreamers, made up of local fishermen, carvers, boat builders, community leaders and business folk had a vision and then acted on that vision. We take great pride in the fact that this is truly a local museum and heritage center that was home grown, home-built and home-maintained. But not only did it take those dreamers to make this facility and its myriad of programs possible it also has taken the thousands of generous souls who have supported this concept from the very beginning and still do, today. Thank you for your confidence, your generous investment of time and money. As we close out 2023, know that what you and so many visitors have made possible is more than just a static museum, it is a place that has promoted and preserved a vibrant and special heritage. But further it is a facility that is giving back to its immediate community and to the nation with a variety of outreach programs that teach and protect. Thank you for having so much faith in this dream that it is now a nationally recognized facility. As I prepare to pass on the chairmanship to Todd Nelson, a native born and bred Harkers Islander, a US Coast Guard commander who retired after a very successful career up and down the East Coast. I want to acknowledge and thank a dedicated staff for their hard work, their leadership and above all their passion in making this a very, very special place, in the community and in the hearts of so many. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - you all are the best and are the reason this unique facility is such a nationally recognized success. 67
