Dear editor;
It is with our deepest gratitude that the Aurora GreenFest Committee expresses its thanks to the residents of Aurora and the Fox Valley for the support and enthusiasm that you showed us for our 10th Annual Aurora GreenFest Saturday.
To all of the vendors and exhibitors, we couldn’t do it without you. You educate our visitors about how to live a life that is more sustainable for ourselves and for our Mother Earth. You show us how healthy, vibrant living, starts with a home that is filled with natural products for keeping our houses clean and for our own self-care. You bring beautiful plants and animals to our festival to help us connect with nature and spark our desire to protect the environment. You even bring solar panels for clean green energy to make our air cleaner and help stop climate change. You are our heroes!
We couldn’t do it without our wonderful volunteers: Aurora University, the Jesse Torres Boxing Club, Kiwanis Club of Aurora, and dozens of other eager individuals came to make the GreenFest happen. All the planning in the world can’t get 115 exhibits and activities where they are supposed to be by 10 a.m. without the help of our volunteer crew, and in spite of the rain and mud.
To our wonderful sponsors, we thank you for having faith in us so we can pay for everything that it takes to put on the GreenFest. We are a volunteer committee so all your help goes straight into making the GreenFest the best that it can be. Our special heartfelt thanks go to the Dunham Fund for your kindness and encouragement.
They say it takes a village, and our village came out with love and friendship to make 2019 the best Aurora GreenFest ever!
With thanks,
Mavis Bates, Aurora GreenFest Committee
