This is the time when we start to see all of the reminders that this time of the year focuses on being thankful. I don’t need a calendar to put me in that mood and feel it, in every part of my life, through out the entire year.
In very large part 2024 has been filled with all things SWC, and for that I am thankful. The constant call to volunteer can leave us feeling that we just don’t do enough, but any amount of time spent supporting SWC activities is time very well spent.
Members assisted with picnic set up, members attended the quarterly meetings to learn and to offer suggestions, members offered their time and equipment so others could learn to safely paddle, members attended a weekend to learn the details of hosting at the Clubhouse and filled the hosted weekend calendar, members volunteered to staff the table at the ADK Expos, members volunteer their time, tools, equipment and skill to maintain and improve our Clubhouse, the Schaefer’s volunteer to serve us breakfast every Thanksgiving morning at Christman’s Preserve (95 years and counting), the Board members volunteer in ways tot numerous to list, and the list goes on.
Whether you have volunteered a lot or a little time to volunteer with SWC, to you I say “Thank you.”
My best to all.
