$590 a week and a half in!!!

June 23, 2021

WOW!

Today marks a week and a half since we kicked off our fundraiser. You can imagine surprise when I saw we had already raised $590!! You actually don't have to imagine, just look at this photo and you'll know what my face looked like when I saw that number!!

We have been criss-crossing the state of Iowa from Woodbury county to Lee, up to Allamakee and Winneshiek, back down and over to Mills and everywhere in between! We are JUST GETTING STARTED! 

Check out our Facebook page for our locations and photos of where we have been! https://www.facebook.com/ISUInsectZoo

Thank you for your support and have a BUGTASTIC DAY!
