Volunteer in the Spotlight- Winter 2024
This quarter we recognize Kitty as our volunteer in the spotlight! Kitty has been volunteering at Historic Bear’s Mill for over a year now and enjoys being around the staff while pricing new products that come in. She used to lead activities with the Alzheimer’s unit at the Brethren Home. Kitty prefers to be out helping others because it makes her feel better than sitting at home watching TV. She considers it a form of therapy! In her free time, she does word searches, bakes, and spends time with family. Kitty hopes to see the Mill continue to be preserved and attract new people abroad.
Thank you Kitty!
