Club Volunteers Support Fountain Hills  Fall Festival
The Fountain Hills Rotary Club once again organized the Purple People Volunteers for the Fall Festival.   Many of the booth participants are solo.  Getting a break for life's necessities or to get a snack can be a problem.  This year's  thirty volunteers, called the Purple People, "booth sit"  enabling brief breaks.  The name "Purple People" comes from the purple sashes the volunteers wear.  The club uses this activity to not only provide a service but as a fund raiser.  The festival organizer, the Fountain HIlls Chamber of commerce, compensates the club for this support.
