Beautiful building, super staff, and amazing audience at our Thursday performance at The Birches at Concord in Concord, NH. Special thanks to Lynne Dionne, CDP - Programming Director and Denise with Activites. Denise encouraged the residents Peter and Maureen to be our HUMAN DUMMY volunteers. Their antics with the cowbell and tambourine were priceless!
Morissa Henn

One of the worst places I volunteered at first they lied saying I was there for 3 weeks when I only was there for 5 days then decided to let me go after only being late twice saying that it was a ongoing pattern which is a lie they lied about being flexible too and if you try to reach somebody nobody answers and they hold the same standards to the volunteers as the employees which they never mentioned or told me that I’m glad I don’t volunteer there stay clear away if your volunteering there
