Red Cross Rod Shares his Thankfulness

Thanksgiving is a special time for all of us.  The Rough Risers' on Thanksgiving week usually enjoy the message of someone who shares something for which they are thankful.

This year, Rod Hamer, shared his adventures in working with the Red Cross.  As a logistics specialist, Rod oversees the mobilization of resources to support the victims of disasters across the country.

Rod shared a video presentation showing scenes from the Louisana Flood and even the flooding threat in Cedar Falls.  He also shared some "behind the scenes" visuals of where they slept and how the volunteers live when they are on-site.

We are thankful for you, Rod.  Thank you for what you do.

You are making a difference in the world!

Barney's on the Radio - 93.5 The Mix

He's at it again. Barney's on the radio sharing our preparations for the Gift of Giving event in December.  While being interviewed on 93.5 The Mix, he did a wonderful explaining the Gift of Giving and listing the various participants and sponsors.

As the radio host continued the interview, Barney described some of the many projects and events that we do throughout the year.

My favorite part was when questioned about "What is the ingredient that makes your kettle corn taste so good."  Barney replied with "Love."

This was a job well done, Barney.  Thanks for your ongoing support.
