ACTIVITIES
Volunteerism...
YOU ARE NEEDED. If you are looking to lend a hand, we need help in almost every
category. If you are interested in working as a museum guide, gift shop salesperson,
buildings & grounds keeping help, carpenter, community relations director, publicity
chair, corresponding secretary, a special events coordinator, a volunteer
director, a publications editor, or just an all-around helper, let us know immediately!
Your volunteerism could be a one shot contribution or a regularly scheduled donation
of your talents. Please consider the benefits of working in a beautiful environment,
positively haunted with history, and with a wonderfully altruistic crew of Friends.
At this point, too few persons are shouldering the bulk of the work, and many hands
would go far in making the work load lighter on each of us. And, importantly, such
volunteerism will be the backbone of our success in saving Point Betsie as a public
treasure! Contact Amy Ferris at 231-352-4915 or email
her.
