FRIENDS OF THE LIMBERLOST

Indiana 46740. Membership is amazingly inexpensive and confers
benefits that far repay the nominal dues. Dues run from July 1
through June 30. The dues include a subscription to the
newsletter as well as membership in Limberlost Swamp Remembered.

Please make checks payable to Friends of the Limberlost and send to the address above.
With your membership card, you can visit the site for free as well as take a ten per-cent discount on your giftshop purchases. There are many attendant benefits such as a 10% discount at all Indiana State Museum and Historic Site gift shops. All contributions are tax deductible.
Volunteers are as necessary as dues! The Friends have many worthwhile projects that benefit the Cabin, the wetlands and forests, and the families and community.
The Friends of the Limberlost is a separate organization from Limberlost Swamp Remembered. I've been a bit vague on that. When you pay your dues, you can opt in or out of the Swamp Group for the same price as one membership alone.
Friends always needs volunteers in all sorts of capacities.
Just speak to one of the officers, or phone the cabin at
260-368-7428 or write to P.O. Box 571, Geneva Indiana 46740. You
can be a Friend no matter where you live, and I can attest to the
friendliness of the group. You won't feel like a stranger!!
You need not be a member of Friends of the Limberlost to
volunteer, but you'd probably want to join anyway!
One main project already begun is restoring the gardens at the site, using the flowers Mrs. Porter used and wrote of, as well as filling in with other plants to keep the yard in bloom throughout the growing year. It will take several years to get it just right. If your time is limited, perhaps you would like to buy plants for the project.
