Volunteer interview with Judy Jones, Friends of the Wild Flower Garden, Inc.

Volunteer Spotlight	Judy Jones - 2000
	Chances are, if you stopped by the Martha Crone Shelter on a Sunday afternoon within the past decade, you would have encountered Judy Jones, who has logged countless hours of volunteer time over many years. “I started volunteering at the Shelter on Sundays when I was working full time,” Judy says, “and I grew to like it so much that I continued on weekends after I stopped working. “ Asked what she likes best about volunteering, Judy said, “Oh, it’s the kids. They are so enthusiastic and curious. And it’s nice to see them come in with their parents.”
	Judy grew up in Morningside and says that she has been coming to the Garden for abut 40 years. “I remember where all of the flowers used to be years ago, and sometimes I have to stop and think about where they are now.” Photo above left: Judy filling the bird feeders in front of the Martha Crone Shelter, 2001 Photo Right: Judy on the phone in the Martha Crone Shelter in 1999.
