FRIENDS OF THE LIMBERLOST
The Friends of the Limberlost address is P O Box 571, Geneva,
Indiana 46740. Membership is amazingly inexpensive and confers
benefits that far repay the nominal dues. The dues include a
subscription to the newsletter as well as an optional
membership in Limberlost Swamp Remembered.
Here is the link to the
membership form which you can print out and fill in. You
can mail it with your check to the Friends of the Limberlost. Then
on that web page you can link back to this paragraph.
With your membership card, the guided tours are free and you can take a ten per-cent discount on your giftshop purchases. There are many attendant benefits. All contributions are tax deductible.
Volunteers are as necessary as dues! The Friends have many worthwhile projects that benefit the Cabin, the wetlands and forests, and the families and community.
Friends always needs volunteers in all sorts of capacities.
Just speak to one of the officers, or phone the cabin at
260-368-7428 or write to P.O. Box 571, Geneva Indiana 46740. You
can be a Friend no matter where you live, and I can attest to the
friendliness of the group. You won't feel like a stranger!!
You need not be a member of Friends of the Limberlost to
volunteer, but you'd probably want to join anyway! And if
you live far away, we welcome you as a member without your
presence!
One main project already begun is restoring the gardens at the site, using the flowers Mrs. Porter used and wrote of, as well as filling in with other plants to keep the yard in bloom throughout the growing year. It will take several years to get it just right. If your time is limited, perhaps you would like to buy plants for the project.
