Taco 'Bout Great Volunteers
On September 23rd, we gathered at the Discovery Campus to celebrate the people who make everything we do possible — our incredible volunteers! The Taco ’bout Great Volunteers appreciation event was our way of saying a heartfelt thank you to the long-term, dedicated individuals who have poured their time, passion, and care into the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation (AHLF).
The evening featured a delicious catered dinner from
Rubio’s and
Veggie Grill, complete with sweet desserts and a refreshing variety of drinks from local favorites. Volunteers enjoyed a relaxed evening surrounded by friends old and new, sharing stories about their experiences supporting the lagoon’s programs, events, and daily operations.
As a small token of our gratitude, each volunteer took home a
succulent plant and
Mexican candy, symbolizing the growth, resilience, and sweetness they bring to our community.
To top off the night, everyone joined in a lively round of
trivia, featuring a mix of
environmental and
AHLF-related questions. The competition was friendly but fierce, as teams put their knowledge to the test for fun prizes — and, of course, bragging rights as lagoon trivia champions!
The
Taco ’bout Great Volunteers event was more than a celebration — it was a reminder of the power of community and the impact of giving back. From maintaining the trails and habitats to supporting educational programs and special events, our volunteers make a lasting difference every single day.
To all our volunteers:
thank you for your time, your energy, and your heart. You truly make the lagoon thrive.
