Club Community Service Opportunity- Galloway House & VillageThere’s a busy season starting soon at the Historic Galloway House and Village in Fond du Lac!
We’re lining up great events like our 67th Annual Ice Cream Social, Old-Fashioned Games Weekends, Trick or Treat in the Village, and more! Looking for a community service project? Come on over and help us set up for events, paint one of our historic buildings, help with kids’ crafts, or come up with your own idea to run past us. We have a wide variety of ways clubs can be involved; we can’t serve our community without awesome volunteers!
Volunteering is not the only opportunity for your clubs here. Are you ready for a cool field trip, complete with hands-on activities? Schedule one today! Trained docents will immerse your members in what life was like in our community around the turn of the century.
We have a lot to offer your club members, and we know 4-H members have a lot to offer us! We’re excited to partner with area 4-H clubs; please reach out at the contact information below or operations@fdlhistory.com to continue the conversation!
Thanks so very much for your time,
Gloria Nelson
