Volunteer Appreciation Dinner

Our annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner is held every January to recognize all of those who so graciously supported the Nature Center by their volunteer efforts. The Center continues to operate due to the many acts of kindness that we receive from our volunteers throughout the year. The Center would not be here without the generosity of a great number of people. Thank You!

Our 2007 appreciation dinner was held on
January 13, 2008.
