A huge shout out to the 27 AYUSA (High School Foreign Exchange Organization) Students and their two leaders who lended a tremendous hand to our cause today by helping serve our attendees lunch. Without their help we would not have been able to be as successful. We think it’s so cool that another non profit organization can pair up with us! Their students have been in the US for less than a month and were eager to experience a typical American event. 10 countries were represented with today’s AYUSA volunteers. Special thanks to Brianne Stouffer who helps lead this group.
