Christine DeBaun and her daughters have been volunteering their time and talents to the Grover Museum for the last couple of years. Through their service, Christine and her daughters have made new, lasting friendships, learned more about Shelby County and its history, and helped the museum on many different levels including increasing event attendance. “As we got to know the director, Alex Krach, and assistant director, Sarah Newkirk, my interest in volunteering grew. They have great energy and passion for our community and its history. Donating time and efforts may be beneficial to the Historical Society and the Grover Museum in some tangible ways, but most of all, I feel better about myself and our community.”
Sarah Newkirk, Executive Director, said that even though the organization has a great group of volunteers already, they are always looking for more. “We have project specific needs like maintenance, event planning, decorating, and exhibit prep. For those looking to volunteer on a more consistent schedule, we are always looking for folks to serve at our welcome desk and greet visitors, answer the phones, and point guests in the right direction.”
