Casey McNulty, 15, is making a big impact in the small town of Keystone with his volunteer work on several community events and committees. Casey, the son of Sean and Susan McNulty, has been volunteering on several Keystone projects since he was only 11 years old.
Currently, Casey keeps busy with his involvement in several community organizations — such as the Holy Terror Days Association (HTDA) and the Keystone Area Historical Society. With the non-profit HTDA, Casey attends most of the meetings and helps plan and execute the organization’s events — namely, the annual Holy Terror Days celebration and the Haunting of Keystone. The Haunting was one of Casey’s first volunteering positions and for two years now, Casey has also organized the haunted forest attraction at the event. This is comprised of constructing set pieces, picking up supplies, getting the actors into position, setting up, tearing down and being on hand to help every night of the Haunting.
“His commitment to volunteer hours in all organizations is phenomenal,” commented fellow HTDA member and town board representative Sandi McLain. “Just on this activity (the Haunting) alone, he has put in over 200-300 hours in the supervision of this (the haunted forest) part of the haunting.”
As part of the historical society, Casey has aided in Keystone Historical Museum construction projects, like the recent remodeling of the basement that involved painting and redoing the floors. He also runs errands, volunteers at events and shares the secretary position with Karen Boland, who has nothing but nice things to say about him.
“Casey’s an asset for any committee he’s on,” Boland commented. “He has good ideas and takes good notes. He’s just an all around good hand and a very fast learner.”
