Volunteer of the Year

joe dumire volunteer award

Congratulations to Joe Dumire for receiving the Friends of Blackwater Volunteer of the Year award!

Joe has been a tremendous help with the heritage preservation work that FOB does in Tucker County. A Thomas resident, Joe knows the ins and outs of this town’s local history and worked tirelessly to help FOB curate and install the 6 new historic signs that joined the existing 5 signs on the Blackwater Rail Trail. He also is helping is with the nitty gritty behind the Engineering Building restoration.

Thank you for all that you do for FOB, Joe!

If you’re interested in volunteering with FOB in our heritage, water monitoring, or trials programs in 2020, email info@saveblackwater.org or visit https://saveblackwater.org/volunteer/
