Barb Gauger

 

Barb arrives at Heartland Senior Services via the Heartland bus nearly every Friday afternoon.  She comes to assist the marketing department in whatever way needed, often by folding brochures and/or newsletters..  Then she offers to distribute the appropriate flyers, sell tickets, talk to friends, whatever it takes to get the word out.  If anyone might need a moving public announcement billboard, that would be Barb Gauger!   We are grateful that she is willing to be ours!

The list of Barb’s other community services is astounding as well.  They include:  Iowa Games, Midnight Madness, Special Olympics, Ragbrai, Mary Greeley, and ARC of Story County.   She has served on the ARC of Story County Board, on the Cy-Ride Board, and on Heartland’s Transit Advisory Council. And when the Kiwanis in town decided to form the new Cyclone Country Aktion Club it was no surprise that Barb came forward with her leadership and love of community to serve the past three years as treasurer of that charter group. 

She says time and again, “If ever I can help in any way, just let me know.  And she means it.” 

How joyful and functional all our communities would be, if only we were all as dedicated to helping humanity as is Barb Gauger.

Thanks, Barb.  We applaud you as one of our model citizens.
