Historical Commission Seeking Volunteers As Well

Many town entities in Lynnfield are very, very short on volunteers. If you've been interested in getting involved, there's no time like the present.

In a separate article today on Lynnfield Patch, Townscape President Frances Fleming could be in jeopardy unless some new volunteers step forward to help run the event.

As noted later in the meeting by Selectman Arthur Bourque, this is just one of many town entities that has struggled to find new volunteers in recent years.

Another town entity looking for some civic-minded individuals is the Lynnfield Historical Commission, which would like to hear from prospective new members and volunteers. Email Nan Hockenbury at lhc@town.lynnfield.ma.us.

Hockenbury noted that the commission has three things on its wish list that would require some fairly specific volunteer assistance. So if you're out there, here goes - they need:

- A licensed contractor who can help re-roof the barn on the Historical House property downtown.

- An arborist who can help with limb removal at the Historical House

- A grant writer.

If you can help out the Historical Commission with any of those above items, email them at the above address. And if you're with another town entity that's looking for volunteers, email william.laforme@patch.com, say what kind of help you're looking for, and I'll put that up here on the website as well.
