‘Women and

Water’ event

The Delaware and Dubuque Chapter of Women, Land & Legacy invites the community to gather for an afternoon of inspiration, learning, and celebration at “Women and Water,” a special event taking place on Saturday, June 14 from 2 to 5 p.m. at The Train Depot of the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque.

This free public event will shine a light on the vital contributions of women working on the front lines of water education, conservation, and community leadership.

Light refreshments will be served, providing a welcoming atmosphere for learning, reflection, and community building.

This event is free and open to all, and is especially suited for women curious about conservation, passionate about the environment, or simply eager to spend a meaningful afternoon connecting with others who care about the future of our water. To ensure we have plenty of refreshments for everyone, an RSVP is kindly requested.
