Why be a Friends director?

(You do not have to hold a title such as secretary or treasurer to join.)

*Various term lengths to choose from: 1 year, 2 year and 3 year

*Only one meeting per month.

• Can’t make the meeting in person? No Problem! We’ll conference call with you. (This also means that you do not need to live in the area to take part)

*Volunteer hours are entirely flexible.

• There are several roles to fill so we work this as a team!
• Remember, you do not have to attend every event.
• There are other roles for board members and new input is just as important as the events themselves.

*We support a very unique, Nationally recognized site that is not only historically important but is a part of the tourism draw for the area.

• We provide employment for area students, and adults.
• We support local, including having Sask products in the gift shop
• Partner with other local organizations on projects and events, and we want to do more.
• The facility we are based out of is newly renovated, including a brand new commercial kitchen and a very welcoming, home style dining area. And we are continuing to work with Parks Canada on even more improvements.

*We have a lot of fun! We get to be a part of some very neat projects and offer some awesome services, all made possible by the great community players surrounding us, especially Parks Canada.

* Not sure? Please Contact us for details… we are changing things up this year and we’d genuinely love to have you on our board!  friendsofthemotherwellhomestead@hotmail.com

We know the community is very busy so when someone offers a couple hours at even one event, or a donation of a dessert or salad, it is much appreciated!

Choose from our events: one big and one smaller in August,

Or Choose from one of our smaller dates: Christmas Craft Sale, Christmas meal, and possibly holiday brunches such as Valentines and Mother’s/Father’s Day.

Throughout the years, the Friends have been involved with many fundraisers and events over and above every day operations and catering including Parks Canada lead events as well as Friends lead events. Some of the most recent include, but definitely aren’t limited to: Binding and Stooking/Annual Concert in the Barnyard, Parks Day, a Fort Qu’Appelle Farmers Market booth, mini farmer’s markets on site, film nights, pie/item auctions, Christmas Craft Sale, and Pampered Chef @ Motherwell Fundraiser.
Volunteers have always been the foundation of the Friends and will continue to be as the Friends grow and evolve in fulfilling their purpose.
