As always, we plan to keep our community beautiful with flower boxes around the village. We also have volunteers who maintain the Take It Or Leave It Shed, so please be mindful of keeping the shed organized and please do not leave large items or electronics. There will be some open board positions in June and we are always looking for volunteers, if you want to get more involved in your community, this is a great way to do it! If you would like to leave feedback or have suggestions, please respond to this email or seek out one of the fabulous board members!
Look forward to hearing from you,
Cheryl, Bobbi, Meg, Andrea, Nicole, Tamara, Leona and Andy
The White Sands Hall Society Board undertook a hall refresh in 2024. The entire hall was painted with the bathrooms styled, new bulletin boards created, and a lovely clock crafted. The final decorations incorporated beautiful photos submitted by White Sands residents. The hall refresh was revealed in October at our Volunteer Appreciation Night. Thank you to Barnwood by Corinne, Nicole Williams, Meg Bondy, and Cheryl VanDusen for all of their hard work on this project.
We are accepting ongoing photo submissions to the Gallery frames. The photos will be rotated regularly and we are excited to expand our collection by the people of White Sands. Email to WhiteSandsHallSociety@gmail.com
Seasons greetings!
Some events are organized by the Hall Society, some are coordinated by other groups. Check back for more information soon!
