VOLUNTEER AT THE KENNEDY MINE! Nothing can compare to the look in a youngster’s eyes when he, or she, sees the first signs of color in the gold pan at the Kennedy Mine. Almost as gratifying is the look on the face of the volunteer who is helping that youngster. The Kennedy now can use the services of a limited number of additional volunteers, maybe 100 or so, like we once had.
We see so many seniors walking along our roads because their doctor said, “you must get some exercise”. Why not get your exercise in a fun way? We probably could extend your life by many years. At least, we can make it a lot more interesting.
We have jobs of all kinds for those of any age. We have volunteers in their 80’s and 90’s. We have volunteers in High School. Ours is a close-knit group of men and women who just feel good about doing something worth while.
