The 2021 United Way Day of Caring was held on October 7. The NVRC took part with another of their annual PSU Golf Course trail maintenance projects. Cheree Jones and Jim and Liz Kisenwether coordinated with Joe Hughes, Penn State Golf Courses PGA General Manager. The NVRC also provided lunch for the crew. This year the 23 volunteers were from the Alexander Building Construction Company, the Penn State women's golf team, and individuals. They cleared brush, especially from wooded segments of the trail, working tirelessly to make the trail safer. This trail has been a Centre County Day of Caring project for the NVRC each year from 2011-2021 (There was an informal small group of volunteers last year due to the pandemic.) Here are some photos from the day of the project.
