Volunteer Opportunities at Rose Creek

The Friends of Rose Creek is a small community group and is always looking for people to get involved. Our hearts are big and our task is equally huge. Together, we can make a difference.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. ~~ Margaret Mead
