March Volunteer of the month
Arthurdale Heritage is pleased to announce that Dale Snyder has been selected as our volunteer for the month of March. Dale has given generously of his time to help AHI raise money by volunteering at the WVU basketball games.
Mr. Snyder and his wife Nancy, live in Morgantown but have roots in the Arthurdale community. Nancy’s grandfather, Mr. Ambrose Brotherton, was an original homesteader and lived in A-3.
When Dale was a child, he remembers visiting his aunt, Bertie Cress, who also lived in Arthurdale.
Arthurdale Heritage would like to take this opportunity to thank Dale for his time and support. It is volunteers like Dale that make AHI a success!
