Upper Lehigh Historical Society is conducting its annual membership campaign with an invitation for new volunteers to step forth and help keep the Schneck House going.

With few active working members, it has become difficult to conduct events and take proper care of the cabin, once home to Schnecksville's founding family.

Volunteers are needed for property maintenance, special events and committees. The group is also looking for tour guides, speakers for meetings, and a curator help with acquisitions and artifacts.

Special events to help raise funds for the upkeep have to be planned and staffed. The house has to be cleaned, and the grounds must be maintained with grass cutting in summer and snow removal in winter.

Teas, the Open Gate Farm Tour, and the Christmas cookie and clear toy candy sale are popular with the public and require quite a bit of time from volunteers.

If you would like to join the organization and help out in any way, call Ann F. at 610-799-2387 or Ann H. at 610-767-9739.
