Volunteerism knows there's a silver lining; because they see it happen every day. Chuck Rowe is the Director of the Midwest Study Group in Waterloo, Iowa. His company is a volunteer support company that assists volunteer agencies and non-profits in their endeavors in finding places to secure their financial needs.    

Chuck shared what his company experienced in how nonprofit organizations received funding (or lack of funding) during the COVID experience. This experience required them to find new sources to pursue funds to keep their organizations solvent. New technology and making use of online financial resources all help with day-to-day operations. The Midwest Study Group has been a great service for non-profits.

Cindy Herzmann Dreams of Building an Accessible Park for Kids.

Wednesday, October 13 - I know that this sounds like fowl play, but why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide! 

Cedar Falls High School Senior, Cindy Herzmann who is working toward her Girl Scouts highest honor Gold Award, wants to construct an accessible playground at the Soccer Complex. This playground will enable kids of all ages and abilities can burn off energy while their siblings are playing soccer.  She has already collected half of the needed funds and is soliciting for the remainder.  

Ms. Herzmann is a motivated person. She is intending to enroll at Clarke University with a soccer scholarship.  She wants others to have as enjoyable an experience as she has had and wants to leave her legacy with this needed project.
