Whaley Ms. Katrina Wilson Mrs. Sandra Wilson Mr. Dennis Wolfenbarger Ms. Lucy Wood Mrs. Betsy Worden Mr. Lindsay Young I came to Bryson City eight years ago to rent a place in the Smokies for three months, only to buy a chalet overlooking these beautiful mountains. Not knowing a soul, I was fortunate to meet a gal who belonged to the "Seniors Hiking Club". For the past 8 years, I have enjoyed tremendously hiking the Smokies from one end to the other for nine months of the year!! Every season has different beautiful wildflowers. I'm truly grateful! ‘Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina ... in the Smokies!’ – Barbara Martin, Bryson City, North Carolina 16 Friends of the Smokies / Annual Report 2006 FRIENDS IN ACTION- OUR VOLUNTEERS In 2006, more than 85 people volunteered more than 3,105 hours of their time to help Friends of the Smokies. Whether they assisted with office management, the annual telethon, or other special events, our volunteers made a tremendous contribution to both Friends of the Smokies and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Using figures derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the non-profit group Independent Sector estimates the value of volunteer time in 2006 at $18.77 per hour. Using that figure, our volunteers contributed the equivalent of $58,281 to Friends of the Smokies in 2006. THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS! We couldn’t do it without you!
