Fun at the Volunteer Appreciation Party

The Eugene Garden Club was buzzing on October 20, when 27 LCAS volunteers gathered to socialize and eat Mezza Luna pizza, salad, and cake (so many cakes!). Plus, everyone went home with the raffle prize of their choice!

Just a bit more than one month earlier, the board decided it was time to gather in person and honor the many volunteers that keep our organization going. Attendees included those who help with AITS, bird outings, and other programs such as Habitat Haven. Cascades Raptor Center, Bird Alliance of Oregon, and Wild Birds Unlimited donated gifts that were added to the raffle table. As Manuela Mena, who volunteers with Habitat Haven and with outreach to LatinX communities, called out the ticket numbers, people were able to go up and choose their prize.

Special thanks to Maeve Sowles for bringing a large pan of homemade gingerbread, and to everyone who pitched in to help make this evening memorable.
