The Friends of the Rio Grande Nature Center participates in numerous community events year-round. We attend these events for many reasons, among them fundraising, advertising, and volunteer recruiting. Three such events we recently participated in were the Combined Federal Campaign Kick-Off Events in September, the KUNM Green Pledge Drive and UNM Volunteer Fair in October.
Anyone who has worked at a booth can attest to how much planning is required, and how tiring it can be to stand for hours meeting strangers and giving the same information out over and over again. It’s hard work!
According to Volunteer Coordinator, Anne Russell, "Our volunteers really make it fun, though. Their positive attitudes ensure that our booths are “happening” places. I’d like to thank the volunteers who helped with our booths and other community events this fall – they are the face of our organization, and the heart of all that we do."
