The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley hosted the twelfth annual “Appetite for Service” dinner on March 24 at Sunnyside Country Club as it celebrated 17 years serving our community. Local businesses and individuals sponsored tables. Luke Schaefer of LNS Sounds and Aaron Santini of Q92.3 served as emcees.
Highlights of the evening included elaborately decorated tables and 17 celebrity servers who sang, danced, and negotiated the purchase and sale of tableware, centerpieces, prizes and drinks in order to raise money for the Volunteer Center! 34 silent auction, three planned live auction packages and many unprompted live auction items were offered to the more than 130 guests who enjoyed a four-course meal and spontaneous entertainment throughout the evening. Sponsors included: MidWestOne Bank, GMAC, Isle Casino Hotel, Wal-Mart, John Deere Waterloo Operations, VGM Group, CBE Group, StruXture Architects, University of Northern Iowa, Veridian Credit Union, and the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley.
The 2012 “Golden Heart Award” was awarded to Veridian Credit Union for their commitment to volunteerism throughout the Cedar Valley. Tips were tabulated by the team of accountants and Funny Money Staff (volunteers provided by Veridian) and tracked very closely to see who won the coveted 2012 “Silver Tray of Service Award.” The “Silver Tray” was awarded to GMAC for the most tips earned. The “Best Decorated Table” was awarded to CBE Group.
The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley staff and Board of Directors gratefully thank the hundreds of supporters who participated in this successful fundraising effort which raised over $43,000!
