David Boothby: Our Honored Guest

David Boothby has been our regional volunteer coordinator. He is retiring soon, but he plans to continue working for Heifer as a volunteer. In that capacity he is coming to the market to help us introduce people to Heifer's mission. We will be honoring Mr. Boothby's 33 years of service throughout the day at the Living Gift Market.
David got interested in Heifer when he brought a youth group to the Heifer Ranch in 1974. From there his interest grew and eventually he signed on. Working for Heifer has sent him to 11 different countries of which, China was his favorite. He was the first American ever to visit the village where the Heifer project was located.
Make sure you look David up at the market. He has lots of stories to tell, and he knows the ins and outs of Heifer better than anyone.
