The 2010 Dublin Pride Week will start Saturday, April 24th, and run through Saturday, May 1st. Dublin Pride Week is an annual event that promotes a positive image for the City of Dublin. The goal is to demonstrate ways in which individuals or groups can act to improve the community.

“Volunteer Day” will be on Saturday April 24th from 8:00AM to 12:00 noon. Please note that volunteers are needed to help with Senior Assistance, School Beautification, and Tree Planting Projects. Volunteers will be invited to a BBQ at Shannon Park following all volunteer activities.

A water-wise workshop on drought tolerant gardening techniques will be held on Saturday April 24th from 2PM to 3:30PM in the Dublin Library Community Room. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection and Compost Give-a-Way Day will be held on Saturday, May 1st. Other fun activities include the Guided Nature Walk and the Planet Dublin Poster Contest. The Guided Nature Walk will take place on Saturday, May 1st, along the Martin Canyon Creek Trail. The Planet Dublin Poster Contest is open to all the K-12 students. Winners will receive gift certificates and City Council recognition.
