Because I feel that volunteering is very important, especially locally, I have been volunteering with the Olney Farmers And Artists Market for the last few years. It has also opened me up to new connections, allowed me to rekindle old ones, and best of all opened my three year old's eyes to the beauty and wonder of farm freshness.
The other volunteers as well as the vendors at the market are able to bring in local celebrities and political figures who are always good to know. Additionally, many key decision makers who live in the Olney area are in attendance. By offering my services to a good cause with great people for free, I am also able to market myself and my company without being a bother.
There is real value in volunteer work, for the soul and for the business. Perhaps whole food and farm fresh produce aren't for you? Well then you can volunteer your services someplace where you are comfortable. All the while you will not only make friends, you will meet key influencers at local, and in this area, national and international businesses.
Please also feel free to let me know if you are interested in this particular market, and I will be more than happy to put you in touch with the people who run it. There is also a wonderful blog on all of the activities located on Tumbler which shows off weekly shenanigans, as well as awesome pictures of ME!
