Historic Bovaird House

                            VOLUNTEERING


HELPING OUR OLDE HOUSE

      Brampton's Historic Bovaird House is a non-profit operation, staffed by unpaid, very dedicated volunteers.

    The Friends of Historic Bovaird House welcome anyone who is interested in the preservation and promotion of our local heritage.

     Also, we are always interested in all donations of furniture, linens, utensils, artifacts, toys, - just about anything dating from 1840 to 1900 time period, which would further enhance the true character and charm of this historic building.

     All donations will be carefully considered, and charitable receipts issued ...if requested.

        Over the last few years, we have greatly expanded the number, quality and quantity of events held at the House, and we certainly intend to continue… but, more dedicated people are required to help by generously volunteering their time, usually only about 3 - 6 hours a month.

Please contact us if you're interested in hearing more, or drop in when the House is open, or come to one of our meetings - held at 7:00pm, usually on the first WEDNESDAY of every month (except December, January & July)
at Historic Bovaird House.

ALL NEW VOLUNTEERS WELCOME !!!

PLAN TO JOIN US and our many NEW MEMBERS !!!

A NOTE TO OUR VISITORS & POTENTIAL VOLUNTEERS:

As every event where reservations are required is sold out well in advance,

most visitors ask us why we don't do more.

        Years ago, our most popular Mother's Day Tea was expanded from one to two Sundays - now with three servings each day. 'Desserts by Lamplight' recently extended to two nights from just one. We've added a Pioneer Supper by Lamplight ("Loaf and Laddle") for 2010 and Mossie's Tea Room was opened for the Victorian Christmas event for two weekend days each year the first weekend in December.

        Please appreciate that the staff working these functions are ALL volunteers and as such, our events depend on their availability.

Certainly, many volunteers would rather spend Mother's Day, or an entire weekend before Christmas, a summer weekday or autumn evening with their family, but they don't... for you. So, if you would like to join the absolutely best, most enjoyable, most dedicated, most energetic and greatest volunteers in town, then please come out to our regular monthly meeting held the first Wednesday of most months,
absolutely NO EXPERIENCE necessary,

Just come, learn, laugh, and enjoy the company of about forty very dedicated folks, a number that has doubled in the last few years, and for good reason.
Then, perhaps we can do even more... with your help.

"All of our volunteers are unpaid, not because they are worthless...
but because they are priceless..."
