Volunteer of the Month – June
Judy Lippmann

Meet Judy, who began her journey as a Master Gardener in 2006 and has loved every minute of it.
Over the years, she has served on nearly every committee, but her true passion lies in sharing her knowledge and love of butterflies with local garden clubs, children's programs, and anyone willing to listen.
Wherever there is a need, you'll find Judy lending a helping hand. When you see her wearing one of her signature hats, you know she is doing what she loves most—teaching others or sharing her culinary talents by cooking corn dogs and funnel cakes at the 4-H Food Booth.
Congratulations, Judy!
We are deeply grateful for your dedication, enthusiasm, and unwavering support.

The engraved bricks are installed along the trail outside the Nature Center Building, creating a lasting tribute that visitors can enjoy while exploring the natural setting.
