Barb Wegener has been selected as the Unit’s Volunteer of the Year for 2025! Barb, a graduate of UCLA, spent her career in education with a focus on special needs students and physical education. She herself was a talented tennis player and golfer. Married to Bill, they have six children from their blended marriage.
Barb served as a member of the Unit Board for three years and has continued as the Unit Championship Game coordinator. She also has volunteered several times as the decorator in Mick Riccio’s annual Halloween Extravaganza, was the food purchase coordinator for DBC one year, and worked hard to keep the bidding boxes at DBC in good form! Thank you Barb!
Barb and Bill are leaving the desert this month. We wish them well!
