Volunteer Opportunities Include • Trail and parks projects • Planting trees on Arbor Day • Senior Center front desk greeters, instructors & special event support • Coaches for youth sports programs • Eagle Scout projects • Special events • Recently formed Friends of Westwood Hills When asked about her volunteer service Penelope Webber-Hyde said, “The interaction with new people and their families coming in for the first time is my favorite part of working at the Senior Center. Showing them the facility, explaining the programs and all that we do and then seeing them come back and get involved makes my heart sing.” Thank you to our many volunteers. The gifts of your time and talents enrich our entire community and benefit all of Napa. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill
