Live (sort of) from the Blue Ribbon Foundation!

Hey everyone!

Happy Friday. Hope everyone is looking forward to a great weekend. In the meantime, I’ll give you a little update from me to get you through the day.

Exciting things are happening with the Iowan of the Day program! This morning I was interviewed about it for KOEL radio in Waterloo. I ran a radio show at Drake University last year, but this was totally different. I talked with Roger King for about ten minutes today and gave him all the details on the program and the Foundation. Our prerecorded interview will run this weekend. Hopefully I’ll entice people to nominate for this year’s program. I’ve gotten a few nominations, but I always appreciate more!

While we’re on the topic, this is your reminder that the deadline is approaching. As strange as it seems, July 1 is right around the corner. That means you only have about 20 days to send a nomination in for the year. I know there are countless outstanding Iowans out there worthy of being nominated, so think about who you know that really makes a difference in your life or the lives of others. The committee would appreciate the opportunity to consider them for Iowan of the Day.

We also have a lot going on with Corndog Kickoff. Be on the lookout on our Facebook page and the website’s auction page for previews coming soon. You don’t want to miss out on all the fun. Better get your tickets soon!

See you all next week for another look into the Blue Ribbon Foundation.
