1st Annual Volunteer Celebration
On a windy Friday evening, BRDC volunteers and staff gathered to celebrate a successful year of programs and events. Lukas Burgher, Aaron Floyd and Rick Taylor spit roasted 2 young hogs for the group to enjoy.
Aaron thanked everyone for a great year of service toward BRDC's mission to inspire creativity, discovery, and critical thinking focused on the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 2016, our Volunteers contributed to 6,000 hours of kids being engaged in natural science valued at over $30,000 dollars. He also emphasized the important role that volunteers play in BRDC's growth. Several volunteers shared stories about their experiences working with kids over the year and Lisa Benish mentioned all of the many upcoming opportunities for volunteers to participate.
Volunteers are by far BRDC's biggest asset. We want tho thank all of the many wonderful folks who have contributed to our success and growth over the years. Your service has a great impact and importance. You support our mission, help us grow, and reach out to share our vision. Thank you for all you do!
