This event is free of charge and is open to the public. There is no registration. Stone says that whether one’s passion is the environment, world peace, literacy, archeology, education, or healthcare, there is a place to help and a new place to call home temporarily. Whatever one’s age, physical condition, or skill level, there is a place, even if one has never traveled or volunteered before. Stone will discuss a variety of sponsoring agencies––each with its own culture and mission––and tips for choosing a trip. Stone is a volunteer docent at the Historic New Orleans Collection and is semi-retired from executive positions in nonprofit organizations. She works as a tour guide, presenting French Quarter, Garden District, culinary history, cemetery and ghost tours, as well as two unique tours: Jewish New Orleans and Women of New Orleans. She is the 2017 recipient of Friends of the Cabildo's Golden Shoe Award. She is the author of o New Orleans Coffee: A Rich History.
