Brian and Nancy Sutton
Brian Sutton has been a volunteer on the trail revitalization team. He looks after the parking team for Christmas @ Presqu’ile and manages the summer fundraising raffle. Both Brian and Nancy are key members of the weekly Barbecue team. Nancy is our Volunteer Coordinator, making sure we have enough help to run our various events. She places almost 100 volunteers at Christmas @ Presqu’ile alone. Brian and Nancy have been part of the C@P team since 2007. Nancy also makes sure we have volunteers at community and park events and can usually be found volunteering at these events along with Brian.
John, Eileen, Brian and Nancy now join an illustrious group of builders who have helped to make the Friends the success it enjoys today. We thank them for their dedicated service.
