The Hayner is Looking For A Few Good Volunteers! The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, 301 W. Main Street is looking for a few good men and women. Volunteer opportunities exist in many different areas at the Center.
The Hayner Center provides many opportunities with fine quality and wide variety of exhibits, classes, concerts and recitals. Housed in an elegant and imposing Italianate mansion, Hayner radiates an aura of warmth and charm not easily found today. Troy is fortunate to be the home to one of the finest community centers in all of Ohio. Hayner’s many facets are supported by volunteer committees, such as the exhibit, horticultural, and program committees, and by a corps of dedicated citizens who handle the reception desk during the week. Anyone interested in donating their time and talents as little as just a few hours each month are urged to contact Terri Boehringer or Betty Bryant at 339-0457.
For more information, visit troyhayner.org or call 339-0457.
