Three cheers for our volunteers! We are so grateful to Friends and friends who have helped with recent improvements to our historic meetinghouse. We thank Dave Zielinski, Glenn Dusablon, Rich Keene, and Jeff Keene for their help to paint the basement stairs and gathering room this week! And we also thank Ron Belliveau for installing new heating pipe insulation at the meetinghouse and his son Jared for replacing a split water pipe insulation the basement bathroom. Thank you for generously donating your time and talents to Smithfield Friends!
