Wellfleet Preservation Hall
Published on 07/28/08 01:07PM by Bruce A. BierhansI have the privilege of serving on the board of directors with a group of astounding, committed members of my community in Wellfleet.
About a year and a half ago, I sat around the table with a group of women,whose talents I had yet to discover, to discuss the rennovation of a historical church in town and turn it into a community cultural center. I offered my assistance on the legal front, and like many other such efforts, hoped for the best.
In that year and a half, over one million dollars have been raised, and I have been awed by the commitment, talent, enthusiasm, untiring effort, and creativity of the individuals I have had the pleasure to work with. In addition, this effort has received wide spread local support and has created a sense of accomplishment and "community" that has been wonderful for our small town.
Since our first meetings, many more individuals and volunteers have become involved. There are too many names to mention, but Marla Rice, Anne Suggs, Ellen LeBow, Simone Reagor, Mary Grace Smith and Nicholas Gulde deserve particular mention. We have much more work to do, and are thankful that we now have so many new friends and supporters.
"Pres. Hall" as we affectionately call it, and it's people, have become like family to me. We look forward to the day when all the hard work will benefit the entire family of Wellfleet.
