Why do we volunteer?

Bob has enjoyed volunteering in many positions over the years. He was a volunteer before there was a Museum. He began as a member of an Advisory Council in the planning of the building and played a key role in the construction of the authentic gas station, the machine shop, and other attractions. Bob is a “hands-on” type of guy who solves problems, makes repairs, builds and rebuilds, and teaches others. He continues to volunteer in a variety of positions including Vehicle Mechanic and Groundskeeper Leader. When asked why do you volunteer? Bob answered …The Museum has many complex machines that need attention and steady care. Bob enjoys old friends and making new friends while volunteering.
