Volunteers are the heart and soul of Gramatan Village.  We celebrated their contributions at our recent Volunteer Recognition Event.  

















Our members say it best:


"I really appreciated Sue's help today - we started talking and I realized we had met before. We sat next to each other at a luncheon it was two friends are found. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much her kindness means to me."
- GV member Amy C.

We welcome volunteers of all ages who wish to share their time and talents to help their neighbors!  If you would like to join this group of special people click here:
