Each Spring, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens recognizes the great efforts of our fabulous volunteers by celebrating with an evening in their honor. On Thursday, April 18th, Bonnet House staff and the Board of Directors joined to personally thank the many volunteers for their generous donations of time and talent guiding tours, field trips, and making our guests feel welcome in our Old Florida setting. Did you know that some of our volunteers complete 200 – 400 hours of service each year?
Local restaurants and hotels donate gift cards and hotel stays for these extraordinary human beings. It’s impossible to explain the amount of joy our volunteers express when receiving these wonderful gifts of gratitude. This year, our grand prize from The Capital Grille in the Galleria Mall, went to a volunteer who completed over 1,000 hours!
Our Bonnet House Education and Visitor Services Department would like to thank these amazing businesses who so generously donated to this year’s Volunteer Appreciation Event. We know how wonderful they are and ask that everyone continue to support these local businesses in our Fort Lauderdale neighborhood!
