Volunteering:
MERA is run by volunteers and is always looking for people who are interested in learning new skills and who have some time to offer. The Schoolhouse was renovated by volunteers and is presently maintained by the generosity of a few people who donate their time... MERA cannot sustain itself without help from the community. Volunteers at MERA work in various areas including fundraising, promotions, construction, gardening, and kitchen wizards for special events. Our members have found volunteering a great way to learn new skills, meet new friends, and gain experience that enhances our community and the spirit.
