Thank You Fair Booth Volunteers!To all of those who volunteered to help out with the ECHHO booth at this year’s Jefferson County Fair, we would like to extend a big thank you! The dedication of volunteers is the key ingredient to ECHHO’s success and the community is so grateful for what the volunteers make possible. We had a lot of positive response at the booth and as a result we have received many inquiries from folks who are interested in volunteering for ECHHO. We also received financial donations from fair attendees who are already familiar with ECHHO or had just learned about ECHHO. |
