"Dark," "snow," and "cold" may be bad words to some people, but they make for perfect Winter Wonderscape conditions! Thanks to everyone who has signed up to participate in our biggest event of the year. We're keeping our fingers crossed that severe weather doesn't impact our plans as much as it did in 2022. We could still use a lot of help during the last two weeks of December, so if you'll be in Ames, please sign up to spread holiday cheer (more information below).

Below you'll see links to complete the 2023 Volunteer Satisfaction survey, some exciting news about Reiman Gardens, info about our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Event, a special request from me, and some new volunteer opportunities and needs coming our way.

I hope you all have exciting plans for the holidays and winter break. Hopefully, attending or volunteering at Winter Wonderscape is part of your festivities! Thanks for all you do around here. ;

❄️❤, Kim, Manager of Volunteer Engagement

Here we go! This is our busiest event (14 days!), and we love meeting new volunteers and having the leadership of our regulars each night. If you plan to be in Ames this holiday season (especially Dec 21-23 and 28-30), we'd love you to sign up and volunteer with us!

If you are trained to monitor the RG Express in the Conservatory, we've added afternoon shifts to Saturdays and Sundays. We'd love for some extra help on these days if you are looking for ways to contribute on the weekends.
