400 Volunteer Commitments!


Thank you all who participated this past weekend at our 3rd Annual Volunteer Morgan Hill Faire. From our estimation it was an outstanding faire resulting in over 400 Volunteer commitments made with our 22 service providers! People either like to volunteer, or like ice cream, probably both. We’d like to especially thank all of our sponsors and donors for their continued support of our program and faire- you make it happen!

Finally, I’d like to personally thank the entire planning team for their hard work in putting the faire together and the volunteers that helped us at the faire (past class mates, friends and family, and members of the Morgan Hill Community Foundation). You are all outstanding volunteers! To that end, we are looking for more outstanding volunteers to join us in the planning of the 2012 faire. If you’d like to be part of our team, please send me an e-mail at victor@volunteermorganhill.com We’ll start the process soon.

Mark you calendars NOW for Saturday, September 8th, 2012 for the 4th Annual Volunteer Morgan Hill Faire! Details will follow once we catch our breath.

Cheers!
Victor Gaxiola
President- Volunteer Morgan Hill

Thank You to Sponsors and Donors!

The big day is around the corner and we wanted to take the time to thank our sponsors and donors for their generous support of Volunteer Morgan Hill and our annual Volunteer Morgan Hill Faire. Our primary sponsors are Anritsu, Kaiser Permanente-San Jose Medical Facility, Leadership Morgan Hill, and Joe Hulse of Morgan Hill Plumbing. In addition, many individuals and businesses have donated raffle prizes for the big day and everyone that registers at the faire will have an opportunity to WIN!

Finally, everyone that “raises their hand” and volunteers will get a coupon good for a free ice cream, courtesy of our good friends Brad and Cinda from Booksmart who again are supporting us with this great treat. The ice cream will be available at the faire and scooped by our very own Volunteer Morgan Hill team members. So be nice! Please note that the ice cream will NOT be for sale, so you have to volunteer to get a scoop!
