Service Saturday- Betty McLandress

This weeks volunteer profile features Betty McLandress, from West Lorne. Betty decided to start volunteering with the Backus-Page House Museum when she saw the ad in the paper in search of volunteers. In the past, Betty has spent much of her time volunteering at various places in London. Betty helps with many of the events that are held at the museum including, the Strawberry Social, the Heritage Farm Show and clean up day in April. The museum is very grateful for all the help Betty provides, especially her hard work weeding the orchard garden this week. Betty enjoys the peaceful, quiet and relaxing environment at the museum. She says, "even though you are working, you're relaxed". The objects in the house, especially the beds are of interest to Betty because she finds it fascinating to see how the Backus family would have had to live. 

Thank you Betty for all the volunteering you do at the Backus-Page House Museum!
