Thanksgiving Day

Volunteers in the Lakes Park Botanic Garden on Thanksgiving Day
Thursdays are work days in the Lakes Park Botanic Garden. Our Lakes Park Ambassadors didn’t let a little thing like Thanksgiving stop them from showing up for duty! Here are Jane, Kathy, and Jeanette, for whom we are truly thankful!

 

Lakes Park Ambassador “Welcome Back” Brunch

The Lakes Park Ambassador "Welcome Back" Brunch was held on December 5th at the park.

Our second annual Lakes Park Ambassador “Welcome Back” Brunch was held on Thursday December 5th, 2019. The event was co-hosted by Parks & Rec staff, and Foundation members. Both local and returning “snowbird” volunteers attended. Many thanks to the team for creating a festive event for our Lakes Park Ambassador volunteers.  CLICK FOR PHOTO ALBUM ON FACEBOOK – Feel free to tag yourselves!
