Tour Guide Training May 22

Arthurdale Heritage needs weekend tour guides for Saturdays and Sundays (12-4). We will be having a tour guide training session Saturday, May 22 at 12:00 pm. Please meet in the Center Hall.

Being a tour guide is fun and enables you to meet some very interesting people. Last year, we had visitors from as far awa…y as the Ukraine. Another tour guide met a woman who served as a Peace Corp volunteer in Bosnia during the 1992-95 war!

Help Arthurdale Heritage do more to help others understand the value of this historic preservation project.

If you’d like to see what it is like to be a tour guide, please come to the training session this Saturday. Email or call for more info: ahi@arthurdaleheritage.org, phone: 304-864-3959 Tuesday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m., and we’ll be happy to discuss your interest in lending a helping hand.

How You Can Help…

Celebrate spring with a much-appreciated gift to Arthurdale Heritage.  We are fortunate that our building maintenance projects* worked on during the past year can be partially paid for by state grants if Arthurdale Heritage can receive enough gifts to match the amounts the state will provide.

We hope you will be able to help Arthurdale Heritage reach its goal of $8,500 by June to meet these grant requirements. By achieving this goal, each gift will be doubled by the state funds.

Click here to make your gift online or mail a check made payable Arthurdale Heritage, Inc. to P. O. Box 850, Arthurdale, WV 26520.

All donors who give $50 or more will be included on the donor listing displayed in the Center Hall year-round (in gift categories of $50 – $99, $100 – $249, $250 – $499, $500 – $999, and $1000 and above).

Fortunately, Rick isn't afraid of heights!

AHI only exists because of people like you who are willing to give of their time and money.  Please help us continue to save the past for the future.

Thanks so much,
Sarah Barnes, President
Jeanne Goodman, Executive Director
