It is a little late in the month, but we would like to share our April volunteer spotlight! This month’s spotlight is on Todd Spratt, our Director & Grounds Coordinator. Keep reading to learn more about Todd and what it is like to be a volunteer with the White Eagle Multicultural Pow Wow!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ How long have you been volunteering with the White Eagle Multicultural Pow Wow? And what keeps you coming back? ~
I met Ralph and Carol even before Pow Wow started, back in the nineties. They used to do presentations in the community and that is how I met them. So really, I have been volunteering since the very beginning. I volunteered consistently for about a decade, then stepped away for a while, and rejoined again about 5 years ago.
~ What is your role at the Pow Wow? ~
I was the Grounds Coordinator for the longest time. On top of that, I stepped into the Director role recently. I am working on modernizing Pow Wow, doing things like digitizing our memory tent. Everyone is online nowadays so we need to be as present there as possible.
~ What is your absolute favorite thing about what the Pow Wow does for the community? ~
I love how it brings people together and helps remind them of what is important in life. Pow Wow recreates a feeling of community that we are all sorely missing today where we do not even talk to our neighbors anymore.
~ What would you tell anyone who is thinking about volunteering with us? ~
Come experience us with an open mind. One of our goals is breaking down the barriers and assumptions that we put on others just because they are different from us. It is so important that we get to know who we each are beyond the labels that society places on us. If that resonates with you, please come try us out!
~ What is a fun fact about you? ~
My wife, Robin, and I had a child graduating high school while another child joined kindergarten!
