In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Deb Clough, a local volunteer who leads the Dover Doers group focused on beautifying downtown Dover through projects like planting and maintaining flower boxes on the Central Avenue Bridge and along the Community Trail. Clough shares how the group started modestly with just a few flower boxes, but grew in popularity and support from the community. She emphasizes the importance of volunteerism in building a sense of community and bringing people together for a common purpose. Clough welcomes anyone to get involved, even if it's just for an hour a month, and stresses that volunteering is a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

In This Week in Dover History, we learn about an incident in 1923 when the bronze sword held by the sailor figure on the Soldiers and Sailors Civil War Monument was found bent, leading to a police investigation.
