Each year, in the context of Volunteer Appreciation Days, the Annapolis Heritage Society recognizes the contribution of one of our outstanding volunteers. We are very pleased to introduce you to our 2009 Volunteer of the Year, Perry Slauenwhite.
It is almost impossible to think of a better natured volunteer than Perry Slauenwhite. What is even more amazing is that Perry cheerfully takes on volunteer tasks which would send other people running. Perry has now been volunteering at North Hills Museum for four years. During this time he has always been willing to help with physical work around the property. Whether he has been asked to prepare and mulch the gardens, cut bushes, edge a path or help to remove fallen branches, Perry is always up to the task. When the museum is hosting events, Perry is inevitably one of the first people on site and one of the last to leave. This means that he is usually setting up tents or hauling chairs and tables. It is this sort of behind the scenes help that allows events and programs to run smoothly. All of this volunteer effort is given with unfailing good humour. For his many contributions, the Annapolis Heritage Society is proud to nominate Perry Slauenwhite as its 2009 Volunteer of the Year.
