The Cedarhurst Administrative Counselors serve as the core of the invaluable volunteers who spearhead and serve on the museum’s many programs and events committees. The Counselors recently welcomed four new people to the board and recognized two members who achieved emeritus status after serving 10 years on the board. Thank you, Carlene Brown and Tess Barnett, for your years of dedication and continuing support! Welcome aboard Brandy Mount, Greg Hollmann, Amy Newell, and Chip Forrester. We’re looking forward to working with all of you!

This impressive group of MVTHS students are shining stars whether they’re being the voice of Cedarhurst by volunteering at events, planning their own student event, or contributing at our monthly Counselor meetings.
