Urbandale Chamber Thanks All Involved in Honoring Teachers

From an Urbandale Chamber of Commerce email:

Our Educator’s Appreciation Reception was a great success! We had over 270 teachers in attendance! 

We want to thank each and every one of our sponsors for our 2013 Educator’s Appreciation Reception! You helped us make this a very successful event and we couldn’t have done it without your investment in the Chamber and support of our teachers! Thank you! 

Thank you to all our volunteers that helped before, during and after the event!  To pull an event off this big and fantastic, it takes many hands and many hours. We sincerely can’t thank you all enough for the time you put in for this event. 

Special thank you to Kurt Mumm and Michael Carver with NAI Ruhl and Ruhl Commercial Company for allowing us to use your space to hold this event in a very short turnaround time! The venue was perfect.

Finally, thank you Urbandale Community Schools and Des Moines Christian School for partnering with the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce for this reception. We can’t thank our educators enough and this reception allows us to show a small token of our appreciation for all you do! Thank you!
