bullet  Volunteer!

We are asking for volunteer help in many areas around the property. Some possibilities are filing, sorting books, inventory, gardening, grounds work, and trail clearing, along with special projects that arise from time to time. We are also seeking to build a list of volunteers with specific skills such as electrical, plumbing, and painting.

Our needs are many, and span the seasons. We welcome people of all ages and from all walks of life, including school groups seeking to fulfill community service requirements.

Valued Volunteers ~ Thanks!

Presentation High School faculty volunteersOn September 12, a group of 9 teachers from Presentation High School each volunteered 5 hours of their time to refinish our Memorial Benches. This is a task that needs to be undertaken annually, and their donation of time saved our Facilities many hours – 45 hours in fact! We give our sincere thanks to Sharon Drake, Clara Bohonquez, Sharon Goldanu, John Hutchinson, Sean Mumper, LiLiana Poppen, Peggy Schrader, Jordan Wang, and Paul Watts for their time and energy.
