Are you passionate about history? Do you love introducing people to history? We are looking for energetic, personable tour guides for 3-hour shifts on Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Saturday afternoons, to begin on April 1, 2012. Tours cover the entire site, including the interior of the house and the rose garden.
Help maintain the oldest rose garden in America! We
are looking for people who are interested in horticulture, the outdoors, learning, and spending time with fellow gardeners at Wyck's beautiful garden. This is a great opportunity to learn and practice various garden techniques, all while supporting a local garden and national treasure. Activity will peak during Wyck's first annual Rose Week, including our national Rose Symposium, in May 2012.

The 1690 Society recognizes visionaries who have named the Wyck Association as a beneficiary of a planned gift or estate plan. These gifts can take many forms based on your financial and philanthropic goals, including:
The Wyck Association can assist you in becoming a 1690 Society member and answer your questions about estate planning. Please contact the Executive Director, Eileen Rojas, at (215) 848-1690 or erojas_wyck.org. If you have already named the Wyck Association as a beneficiary of your estate, you are eligible for membership in The 1690 Society and simply need to notify us of your gift.
You may also talk with a planned giving professional at Friends Fiduciary by calling (215) 241-7272; or visit www.friendsfiduciary.org.
Only you and your advisors will be able to determine how a charitable gift fits into your financial and estate plans. As with any decision regarding legal and financial matters, we encourage you to consult with your own independent professionals before making your decision.
We thank you for considering planned giving.
The family members who lived at Wyck balanced tradition and innovation in every aspect of their lives. Quaker values and aesthetics are evidenced in the house and garden as well as in the family’s legacy as philanthropists, innovators, educators, applied horticulturists, and social reformers.
The greatest legacy of Wyck, however, is this family’s enduring commitment to preserving Wyck and its history for future generations. Today, we honor this family’s vision and their commitment to preserving and sharing Wyck with The 1690 Society.
The 1690 Society recognizes visionaries who have made provisions for the Wyck Association through their estate and financial planning. We hope that you will consider joining The 1690 Society and ensure that Wyck will be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come.
