2007 Volunteer of the Year – Dr.
Courtney M. Stevens
Courtney Stevens has been active at
the Daniel Boone Homestead for about three years, and in that time
she has made an impact on the site and has become one of our most
loyal and dedicated volunteers. Courtney has been instrumental in
our weekly hands-on education programs and at our Hands-on Fair
which attracts hundreds of school students on site for two days in
the spring. She has taken part in many of our major on-site public
living-history programs and has helped with cooking, textile and her
true love, gardening interpretations and demonstrations.
Courtney is a Master Gardner and she has been instrumental in
getting the Berks County contingent actively involved in the clean
up and planting of the site demonstration gardens in the historic
area.
Courtney has taken part in many other programs including various
on-site training opportunities and attendance at our lecture series,
Women’s History Roundtables and other functions.
In June 2007 Courtney was elected to the Friends of the Daniel Boone
Homestead Board of Directors and she has become an active and
dedicated board member.
Dr. Courtney M. Stevens is a Professor of Nursing at Alvernia
College in Reading and we are so happy she gives so much of her
valuable time and considerable talents to the Daniel Boone
Homestead. We are honored to name her as the Daniel Boone Homestead
“Volunteer of the Year."
2006 Volunteer of the
Year - Beverly Connor
Beverly has been
a loyal and active board member of the Friends for over ten years.
She presently serves as the Treasurer and, as such, she devotes
hundreds of hours or volunteer time each year keeping the books for
the Friends general fund and museum shop funds. Over the past
several years the Friends financial activities have greatly
increased and Beverly has done a great job keeping everything in
order.
Besides her work on the board as treasurer, Beverly also takes part
in volunteering at all the major special programs – helping to
interpret the Boone House and manning the Friends hospitality and
information tables for the public. She also attends most of the site
lectures and other programs held on site.
She has selflessly given of herself and we all appreciate, so much,
having Beverly as part of the Daniel Boone Homestead family.
