For the past four years, Mary and I have been volunteering at the Brevard Music Center's summer performances as ushers. Like some other volunteers from Trinity, we have done this as a volunteer service but also as an opportunity to attend some wonderful, diverse musical performances throughout the summer.
Below is some information about volunteering for this summer's season. Ushering is a lot of fun (you get a chance to interact with many patrons), but there are a number of other volunteer roles that are available. Please read the announcement, and if you're interested, click the link to find out more. -- Steve Culp

Volunteer Alan Hunt says,
“I value my volunteer work for Brevard Music Center because of the people. It is fulfilling to know that I may play a small role in supporting the young artists that attend in the summer.”
