Calling all volunteers!
June 11, 2015
Hi y’all! I hope everyone has had a great week so far! It’s been a busy one here at the office. It’s our second week with having everyone at the office, so it’s been pretty exciting talking and working on projects with the other interns and staff. Speaking of talking, yesterday Robin and I went to the Wellmark Volunteer Expo. It was from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and we were able to recruit Wellmark employees to help volunteer at the Fair. There were tons of different organizations there recruiting volunteers, which was really exciting to see all of the different opportunities!
We spoke with a lot of people so hopefully we will get some volunteer forms in the future! With that being said, I still have PLENTY of shifts available for people who are interested in volunteering. Just to give you a brief overview (which I got really good at yesterday), our volunteers help sell water, merchandise and Fair Squares. The profits from these sales go towards renovations for our beloved Fairgrounds. Any updates or new buildings you see on the Fairgrounds are in part thanks to our volunteers! So if you love the Fairgrounds and want to help us keep them beautiful for future generations, consider volunteering with the Blue Ribbon Foundation and give me a call at (515) 262-3111 ext. 379 or sign up online! It’s a great opportunity and only four hours of your time!
Anyways, that’s all I have for now! But I’ll be back soon!
