Sponsorship Coordinator
Help to identify and recruit sponsors who want to support our preservation efforts while advertising their services
in our newsletter and/or at our outdoor concerts. You will also explain the possible tax benefits of sponsorship.

Assist visitors in choosing a location, date and time for their private event on the grounds of the village. You will discuss the donation associated with their event, advise them on available amenities and restrictions, and ensure the event organizer understands their responsibilities for set-up and cleanup. The coordinator also ensures the event is placed on the corporate calendar
and that “reserved” signs are placed at the location on the day of the event.
