Greenwich Historical Society honors volunteers

The Greenwich Historical Society feted its wonderful volunteers with a beautiful cocktail reception at the Round Hill Club on April 24, 2013, sponsored by Round Hill Partners. Event chair was Board Member Myrna Haft.

Helen Dixon was named Volunteer of the Year for her invaluable service in helping to manage a number of site improvement projects. In honoring Mrs. Dixon, Executive Director Debra Mecky made note of her perseverance, diplomacy and versatility as crucial to maintaining and expanding the Bush-Holley Historic site in the recent past. Mrs. Dixon’s first volunteer experience at the Historical Society was as a volunteer docent.

Outgoing Antiquarius Boutique chair Killeen Faughnan and outgoing Holiday House Tour chairs Wendy Hearn, Leigh Ann Ryan and Catherine Tompkins were honored for their leadership. Bea Crumbine was also recognized for community collaboration in the creation of the Historical Society’s current exhibition, From Italy to America.   Comedienne Jane Condon entertained and wrapped up the evening with a unique and personal take on volunteerism. 

Over 80 volunteers were in attendance, and all were saluted for the many ways in which they support history, preservation and education in the community.
