Whatever the Weather
In September, over 200 volunteers gathered in the Packard Pavilion in spite of damp conditions to celebrate each other and the joys of service through the DABG. Intermittent cloudbursts throughout the day threatened to anoint the 2016 Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, but did not hinder the event.
Poor Man’ s Catering provided a feast of a picnic. Everyone received plenty of food and plenty of praise for a fantastic season! Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical Gardens volunteers are THE GREATEST!
