WAHS Membership Survey

1. WAHS is grateful for the members and volunteers that make the programs at WAHS so connected to the surrounding communities, school children and visitors to experience life as a pioneer. The Board felt it would be very important and valuable to obtain your input thru this Survey on many areas so as to continuously improve. Also, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of WAHS in 2012 and your ideas would greatly be appreciated. The WAHS could not function without the help of the volunteers. This survey can be completed here or print and mail the completed survey by October 1, 2011 to:

6. Suggested Improvements:
Historically, volunteer docents conduct tours for the Farm Museum and Dewey School as schools schedule field trips during the months of May/June and September/October. Volunteers to secure for these programs are very few; and, thus, carry a very heavy schedule. How can we increase our number of volunteers?
