VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT:

The Winslow House program of events is now online.  We are seeking people to assist with our Tuesday morning “Coffee Hour” lectures as well as other events and programs.

We are always seeking people to assist with running the House, putting on events, or doing small tasks to make certain the House runs properly. NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE A TOUR! Volunteering at the Winslow House does not mean just giving tours. We are always looking for people to help organize Coffee Hours and special events, organize membership drives, write for the newsletter, logging information into the computer, and so much more. We need people with all kinds of talents and interests. Of course…you can still give a tour if you want!

Email Addresses Needed: In order to better serve our members and friends, and to keep in better contact with you, we would like to assemble a list of email addresses. If you have email, please send a message to director Mark Schmidt at mark.schmidt@winslowhouse.org  with your email address. In that way, you can be more quickly informed of happenings and programs being held at the House
