100 years and counting: Geneva grotto thrives, thanks to restoration work by local volunteers

The efforts of a small group of volunteers have gone a long way toward restoring the 100-year-old Sacred Heart Grotto in Geneva, but more help is needed.

Vandals generally carry out their wasteful and costly attacks under the cover of darkness or in places where the chance of someone suddenly showing up during the crime is close to nil.

With the grotto being almost 100 years old, the organization hopes its work will result in"getting another 100 years out of it," McQuillan added.

Before-and-after photos are common on the group's Facebook page and its website at genevagrotto.org. In addition, grotto Christmas cards and"thank you" cards are for sale and available by calling McQuillan at 205-1683, and he will deliver the cards. In calling this year's event"Luck of the Bottle," the Community Chest is also offering raffles and a live auction.
