Volunteers

 MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS    

 

Diane Labour   Judy Andres   Carin Lewis

All three of these ladies are very involved with The  Berwick Historical Society.  Diane is in charge of organizing the Mansion Maids which clean the Jackson Mansion and Judy and Carin are part of this crew. They also clean all of the societies properties, headquarters, and gardens.  Diane, Judy, and Carin, also help at the David A. Sadock House, the Carriage House Gift Shoppe, and with tours and events at the Jackson Mansion.  All three bake for events and Carin usually can be found down in the kitchen organizing all of the food for the events.  If you come to an event, you are sure to see one if not all three of these hard working individuals.  We are grateful for all of their talents and contributions to The Berwick Historical Society.
