February 23rd marked the occasion of Ohio Valley Goodwill’s celebration of the 90th anniversary of the organization’s Goodwill Service Guild. The group of long-time volunteers has as their mission sharing the story of Goodwill and raising funds to support the organization’s work. The volunteer Service Guild is made up of 30 active members led by President Sue Burreson and the group plans and sponsors a number of annual events including the Fall and Spring Mini-Fests; a Veterans Luncheon; the PigAbilities event as well as operating the Treasure Island Gift Shop located in the Tri-County Goodwill store.
