 In recognition of the support New Braunfels Parks and Recreation receives throughout the year from volunteers, the department hosted the 10th annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on September 13th at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center. Volunteer efforts are visible throughout the community in projects such as park cleanup, tree planting and mulching, trail building and repair, planting and weeding landscape beds and assistance at special events. Over the past 11 years, park volunteers contributed a total of 29,600 hours valued at $682,872 in labor costs. “The amount of time that our volunteers donate yearly is remarkable. We began tracking our volunteer efforts in 2007, this year marked the 10th anniversary of our Annual Volunteer Appreciation and Awards,” said Stacey Dicke Parks and Recreation Director. “The department is truly privileged to have this quantity and quality of service contributed by these fine men, women and organizations.” The event was themed “A Decade of Dedication.” Several volunteers and organizations were recognized with specific awards for their contributions to the Parks and Recreation Department and community as a whole. The department has an array of volunteer opportunities for individuals, small groups and large organizations.
