    2019 Volunteers of the Year

    2019 Volunteers of the Year: Wendy Wallas, Libby Mills, and Rosalyn Shaoul

    At the Pinnacle Association’s Annual Meeting on April 28, 2019, three dynamic, dedicated women were presented with the Volunteers of the Year Award for their collaborative efforts in chronicling the growth of the Pinnacle lands.

    Libby Mills and Rosalyn Shaoul, both Pinnacle board members, have created a written history of WHPA. Their project began as an oral history as they recorded the recollections of individuals involved over the Pinnacle’s 27-year history. These recollections form the base of their book, which evolved as they interviewed others and explored documents and land records. Then Wendy Wallas, longtime supporter and Pinnacle land lover, joined the effort with her video camera, and expanded the project by filming interviews of some of the Association’s founders, as well as of others who have been instrumental in growing the successful land conservation organization it is today.

    Their book, “The Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association’s Story: How Did They Get All That Land?” is available in exchange for donations of $25 or more to WHPA.
