 Talent
There is an amazing array
of talent at Kendal at Ithaca, and fortunately, most enjoy contributing
their expertise for the benefit of others.
Without the efforts
of those with interest and training in library science, Kendal
would not have its efficiently run, 12,000 volume library. Without
the efforts of the members of the Woodworking Shop, Kendal would
not have the large number of useful items we take for granted.
Without the efforts of our resident writers, Kendal would not
have The Breeze , the residents' newsletter. Without
the efforts of our computer experts, Kendal would not have a fully
equipped computer lab offering services and instruction. Without
the efforts of the Stitch Witches, residents could not get mending
done for a reasonable fee. Without the efforts of talented organizers,
Kendal would not have the acclaimed Lyceum series. Without the
efforts of talented artists and craftspeople, Kendal would not
have the interesting objects found throughout the Community Center.
Without the efforts of our gardeners, Kendal's site would be far
less beautiful, and there would not be baskets of vegetables available
for the taking each day.
Staff members are involved
in volunteer activities in Ithaca and the adjoining counties.
They serve in positions of responsibility in charitable organizations,
groups involved with the arts, schools, and churches, and are
coaches and boosters of athletic events.
A number of members of the Ithaca community
contribute their expertise through their service on our Board
of Directors. This represents a serious commitment of time and
energy from people who are already very busy, and Kendal at Ithaca
appreciates their efforts.
