According to Laura Moyer, Creative Director for The Workshop, “The van holds up to 10 passengers. It also has a wheelchair lift and can accommodate up to 2 individuals in wheelchairs. The main purpose of this van is to allow all individuals to participate in community outings. We currently offer small outings to lunch or coffee here in Galena but this van will allow us to go further with more individuals.
We have developed a program called Adventure for All where we research several local attractions and give all the individuals a choice between 6 trips. Our first round of trips included the Niabi Zoo, the Grotto in Dickeyville, the Arboretum in Dubuque, fishing, manicures and a trip to the “M” in Platteville and thrift store shopping. Once all these trips are taken we will offer another 6 trips.”
