Nancy Brink
Volunteer Coordinator
508-495-1878 ext. 8

Brave Nancy was Historic Highfield's first office volunteer -- back in a time when we were in active construction and definitely could not provide appropriate working conditions. Despite the dust and noise, Nancy was determined to help and help she has. She is now the Volunteer Coordinator (working in a volunteer capacity) and as such is in charge of scheduling volunteers for the front desk and other activities.
