Our volunteers
John Anderson
It never ceases to amaze me how much pleasure I can give some one for so little effort on my part.
People are just so pleased to see me and so grateful for anything I can do for them.
I think I am a much better person for being a volunteer. I have learned to be thankful for what I have, I have learned tolerance and humility.

Attending the 100th birthday party recently of one of our original founders reminded us that time is running out for us to capture both their personal stories and their incredible community contribution to the unique history of Glenview.
We have contracted an experienced and qualified historian, Caroline Evans, to write the History of Glenview. Caroline has access to all our old files, minutes, photos and documents as well as access to many of the people involved with Glenview over the past 60+ years.
