Ruth Levins, who writes the ‘Volunteer’ column for the Citrus County Chronicle said it best: “Observe any volunteer and you’ll see the ‘plus factor’ at work – the achievement level that Norman Vincent Peale describes as ‘that little extra that makes us a winner’”. You are invited to experience this unique opportunity - volunteering at the Old Courthouse Museum, Historical Society, and the Coastal Heritage Museum or at one of our many special community events.
