What can brighten any day?
June 26, 2015
Hi ya’ll! It’s been a pretty rainy week here in Des Moines. I feel like all its done is rain, which sometimes can bring down my mood. However, even though my drive to work can be sort of gloomy, one thing that always brightens my day up (no matter what it looks like outside) is sitting down at my desk and seeing all the emails and phone calls I’ve received from our wonderful volunteers!
This automatically makes my day better to see how many people care about the Iowa State Fair and the tradition and happiness it brings to so many people! We already have over 375 volunteers signed up to help out at the 2015 Iowa State Fair! Can you believe it?!? It’s amazing!
But....we can always use more! If you’re interested in donating your time and talents to help the Blue Ribbon Foundation, give me a call at (515) 262-3111 ext. 379 or email me at Maggie@BlueRibbonFoundation.org. I would love to chat about our volunteer opportunities and what it means to volunteer with the Blue Ribbon Foundation!
Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $100 million to go towards renovations around the Fairgrounds. Volunteers are a HUGE part of this! So think about donating your time to help keep one of Iowa’s best traditions alive. I mean, it’s only four hours and you never know whose day you will brighten with the gift of volunteering…
That’s all I have for now, but have a great weekend! And try to stay dry!
