Twenty-two years of volunteering at the Dannevirke Gallery of History was recognised on Monday when committee members honoured Jill Mills in celebrating her 80th birthday.
Gallery of History vice-president Murray Holden said Mills had been a long-time volunteer and stalwart of the gallery as well as having undertaken a large amount of research over the years.
Mills said she joined the gallery in 1998 after inquiring whether she could become a volunteer.
Following their meeting on Monday committee members marked the occasion with a birthday cake and flowers for Mills.
Gallery volunteers will take a break over the holiday season. The last day will be next Wednesday, December 23, and the gallery will reopen on Monday, January 11.
