SUMMARY:Camp Boardwalk: Atlantic City During World War II" opening reception
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend the opening reception of the newest exhibition at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University on Saturday\, January 10 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Enjoy light refreshments and live music during this afternoon celebration. \nCurated by Dr. Patricia Chappine\, in collaboration with the Atlantic City Free Public Library\, Millville Army Air Field Museum\, Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center\, Atlantic County Historical Society\, and the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey. \nAbout the exhibition:\nDuring WWII\, Atlantic City\, NJ became an essential part of the war effort\, earning it the nickname “Camp Boardwalk.” The Army converted major hotels into a military training and redistribution area and established the Thomas M. England General Hospital\, a recovery and rehabilitation center for injured soldiers.  \nThe community mobilized its resources for Civilian Defense\, calling on local men and women to be air raid wardens and airplane spotters. Women volunteered for the USO and the Red Cross\, joined the military and worked as nurses. African American men and women served in the military\, worked in the defense industry and volunteered on the home front. This exhibit showcases the wartime narrative of Atlantic City\, connecting the stories of the men and women who trained\, worked\, recovered and volunteered there.
