Volunteer Appreciation
We recently celebrated International Mud Day at Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark, and each year more and more people attend with family, friends, or just by themselves to enjoy being outside and the fun of playing in the dirt. Our volunteers helped get people excited and creative, and even helped them get cleaned up after their muddy adventures. Thank you to these volunteers who helped make this annual event special:
Jerry Connally, Roy Dyer, Colleen Girard, Angela Greco, James Hymans, Jacob Jefferson, Judy Johnston, Teresa Klansek, Karen McCarty, Michael McCarty, Gigi Painter, Shanon Queen, Emilia Rose, Kathy VonderBrink, Nancy White, Ellis Willis, and Allie Zimmerman 
Summer Care Campaign is ON! Cool off with frozen fruit popsicle after your next volunteer opportunity with us! Popsicles are available at all MetroParks locations with scheduled volunteer opportunities to help you stay cool while serving with us this summer.
Staff Lead Bingo is also happening NOW! This is a fun game for your staff leads to play to earn great prizes for YOU, their dedicated volunteers. Now through September, your Staff Leads are invited to complete a variety of simple volunteer engagement tasks like "take a picture with your volunteers" and "email your volunteers". When they complete 5 simple volunteer engagement tasks in a row, they get a BINGO and are entered into a monthly raffle for great prizes for you like a volunteer ice cream party, volunteer supplies, and more! Ask your staff lead if they are playing Staff Lead Bingo and see if you can help them complete some of these simple, fun tasks. Let's have some fun together this summer season!
