The Nature Discovery Center celebrated Passion for Our Park with our 18th Annual Twilight Gala.

Nowhere is the passion for the Nature Discovery Center more evident than in the wonderful volunteers who give tirelessly of their time and talent. We want recognized that spirit of giving back to the community by honoring our past Board Presidents: Lynda Clemmons, Steve Erickson, Joe Ives, John Carloss, Yvette Clark, Lenora Carlson (posthumously), Janie Mitcham, Marybeth Flaherty, Melinda Gumbert, Barbara Raines, and founder Hana Ginzbarg.

There was a live auction as well as a silent auction and dinner, and dancing to the sounds of Doppelganger.
