Get to know the 2026 WPRA Board of Directors!
This week, we’re spotlighting our Recreation Section Representative: Adrienne Lacy

What motivated you to run for the WPRA Board of Directors?

How long have you been a member of WPRA and what is your favorite part about it?
"I became a member shortly after moving to Wisconsin, so eight years. My favorite part is being able to meet different professionals from across the state."

What is your Hometown?
"Cambridge, WI (though I lived in the south for 15 years before coming back to Wisconsin.)"

What is your favorite hobby?
"Traveling and attending sports events with my family."

What's your favorite quote?
"Make good trouble. – John Lewis"

Membership Monday! Today, we’re highlighting a new event launched this year at Boerner Botanical Gardens: Dog Day at the Garden!

Created with the goal of connecting Boerner Botanical Gardens with new groups in the community, Dog Day at the Garden offers dog owners a unique opportunity to experience the gardens in a whole new way.

While Boerner is well known for its beautiful flowers, weddings, and horticulture, this event opens the doors to an audience who may not have considered visiting before. By creating a day specifically for dog owners, Boerner is welcoming new visitors while showcasing all that the gardens have to offer.

We love seeing our members find creative ways to connect with their communities!
