Back At It

Can you believe it's already almost June? I can't!! I hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend!

The fair is going to be here before we know it. I have been joined by our two other interns Kate and Kristine- I finally have some company! :) There is no doubt we are keeping busy. Robin and I have been making plenty of phone calls for the Corndog Kickoff so she can start typing up this years auction booklet. There have been so many gracious donations that we are extremely thankful for AND excited about. We hope to make 2013 another record breaking year! Don't forget, you can now order your Corndog Kickoff tickets and commemorative crocks (first come first serve).

As for the Iowan of the Day, we are down to just over a month left to nominate! It has been challenging yet exciting being able to run this program. With Jenna's help, we are looking for the best possible ways to get the word out. We are just finishing up the media kits and soon I will be reaching out to local newspapers as well. The theme of "star-struck" has been a fun one to work with! I look forward to reading more nominations and getting a taste of what Iowa is all about. There are so many worthy people of this award, but only the best of the best will be recognized. If you are unsure of what to include in your nomination, here is a collage including some of the items from last year's winners. It is one thing to write about your nominee, but these materials are what will truly set them apart!

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone. I can be reached at carly@blueribbonfoundation.org or 515-262-3111 extension 678. Have a great week!

Until next time.
