Community Activities
Annually we volunteer at the State Theater, Parade of Homes, Crooked Tree Center Traverse City Annual Youth Art Show, and The Botanic Garden. Additionally, we collect donations of needed items for Helen's House and local classrooms. Each year, we give a Friend of Education Award to a selected non-educational entity to honor for their service to education. All these contributions are discussed during our regular meetings, so be sure to find out how you can help throughout the year!
