Gifts of this type will range from $75 to $275.   Payments can be made by check, credit card, or PayPal.  PRICES INCLUDE PLANTING AND PLAQUES.

New donations toward this project will wait until Spring, and an additional area of landscaping will have to be considered.

MONITORS   volunteer for 3-hour shifts.  They are trained by experienced monitors. A packet of info on duties and procedures are given to you.  A MONITOR REWARDS PROGRAM in place enables you to earn points based on the number of shifts you take.  These points translate into discounts that can be applied to your tuition for classes and workshops–NOT to items  in the gift shop.   Points and percentages are compiled once every four months. Four shifts equal a 10% discount.   Monitor more often, and your discount increases. Go to greensburgartcenter.org and click on the “welcome” printed in white letters under the paint tubes. Then click below on “Monitor Rewards Program.  Questions?  Please contact Alice O’Brien at   alicemob@yahoo.com.
