Docent Training Meeting

The next Docent Training Meeting will take place on Saturday, June 15 at 10:00 a.m. Docents relate the history of Hearthstone by giving tours using a prepared script. There are several training sessions and the "shadowing" of experienced docents before you're on your own. If you've already attending a volunteers' information meeting and would like to learn about being a docent we would love to see you.

Light Up the Fox Bicycle Ride

On June 21, 2013 Hearthstone will be the final stop on the Fox City Cycling Association's Light Up the Fox Bicycle Ride. Special guest greeter will be none other than Thomas Alva Edison himself! For more information see the Fox Cities Cycling Association's Facebook page.

Another Volunteer Information Meeting

Another new volunteer information meeting will be held at Hearthstone on Thursday, July 11 from 6-7 p.m. We will be reviewing the procedures involved with being a "greeter." Those interested in becoming docents will be receiving "basic docent information books." New and not so new volunteers are welcome. Remember---we're all an essential part of Hearthstone's guest experience! Greeters are needed anytime the house is open for tours. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join us. Warmer weather brings more visitors and we need your help! For more information email hearthvolunteer@att.net or call (920) 730-8204.

Rummage Sale!

Admit it. You have a few things lying around your house you wouldn't mind getting rid of. This is the time to gather up all inanimate objects no longer of use to you and save them for the big rummage sale at Hearthstone: Saturday, July 13, 2013 (rain date July 20.) Deliver your unwanted items to Hearthstone the week before or arrange to have them picked up. Save the date and save your stuff!

Raffle!

We know you've always pictured yourself enjoying an elegant dinner in Hearthstone's dining room overlooking the Fox River. Now's your chance. Beginning July 1, 2013 Hearthstone volunteers and Board members will be selling raffle tickets for the grand prize: dinner for 10 at Hearthstone.
