Attention Leadership Council Bluffs Alumni! The Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce needs volunteers for the Farmers Market!

Please see their note below:

Hi Leadership Alumni,

The Farmers Market is in full swing, and we’d love your help making it run smoothly!

We’re reaching out to see if you’d be willing to lend a hand this season. While set-up volunteers are needed, what we really need are people to help with tear-down at the end of each market.

If you’re available to pitch in, here’s the link to sign up: https://signup.com/go/WdzXouz

Whether you can help once or multiple times, we’d be so grateful for your support. It’s a great way to stay involved and support a fun local tradition.

Thanks for considering!
Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce Team

🍒 Be the cherry on top of market day! Volunteer with FMCB and help us serve up a sweet experience every Thursday. Each shift is about 45 minutes, but makes a huge impact!
