Uncommon Words: Volunteers help us to help West Branch community
by Jerry Fleagle, Hoover Presidential Found · Op-Ed · October 26, 2017


We recently completed a membership drive in the area, and have seen positive results coming in already.


We are happy to see such great interest in membership with the Hoover Presidential Foundation!

As a reminder to all of our members, we encourage you to take part in the VIP Exhibit Preview Receptions (there’s one next month), discounts at the Library’s Gift Shop (perfect for Christmas shoppers), and free admission the Hoover Presidential Library-Museum and all the other National Archives and Records Administration Presidential Libraries.

We’re also hard at work preparing for the Foundation’s annual fund drive.

Watch your mailboxes for an opportunity to support Foundation programs beyond what is covered by membership dues.

The Hoover Presidential Foundation actively supports the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum and Herbert Hoover National Historic Site with funding of visiting speakers and authors, travel expenses for school field trips, support of S.T.E.M programs at the Library, community events, scholarships and a whole lot more!

We’re happy to be an active part of the fabric of West Branch.

I’d be remiss not to thank the great group of volunteers who regularly help us with our mailings, filing, and other duties around the Yellow House.

By volunteering, you help us keep costs down so we can have a larger impact on the programs we support.

We’re blessed to have your help and our community is better for it!

The efforts taken on by the Library, National Park, and Foundation should instill a sense of pride for Herbert Hoover here in West Branch.

But the work accomplished on the Hoover Campus doesn’t just happen.

We need your help to continue the work and to share Hoover’s ideals with generations who have never heard his story.

Please watch for our mailings in the coming weeks and consider support above and beyond a membership to help us accomplish great things in 2018!

If you’ve moved or don’t receive our mailings, you can participate online at www.HooverPresidential-Foundation.org. Thank you – and we wish you a joyous and happy holiday season!
