Abode Village View – Week of March 1
We will need many new hands to provide conscientious service to all of our visitors this year. We have recently launched our volunteer application and will be posting employment opportunities in the next few weeks. Positions will be available in many departments: Guest Services, Mountain, Housekeeping, Kitchen and more. Stay tuned for more news via the Village View and our social media pages.
We also are counting on your generosity to help us create the future Abode. Our 45th Anniversary Campaign for the Future is underway and we have received an amazing challenge grant: $450,000 if we can raise $225,000! Your gift to this campaign will help us continue to rehabilitate the Abode’s historic campus and provide Sacred Hospitality to the growing number of seekers we serve.
