Today's the day! Have you been thinking about VOLUNTEERING at the DeKalb County History Center? Join us for our Volunteer Information Meeting TODAY at 3:00 p.m. and discover how you can help preserve and share DeKalb County's history.

Whether you're interested in research, gardening, welcoming visitors at the front desk, helping with the Sycamore Farmers Market and special events, or lending your talents in other ways, there's a volunteer opportunity for you.

Come learn about the different ways to get involved, meet fellow volunteers, and complete your introductory training all in one session. No experience is necessary, just an interest in making a difference in your community.

We'd love to see you this afternoon at the History Center!
