Dari Barn Mooooves to Mayflower (temporarily)

On Wednesday, September 18th, Grinnell’s Dari Barn mobile ice cream shop came to The Mayflower Community to provide treats for employees. As a gift from Mayflower’s Board of Trustees, employees ordered sandwiches and ice cream.

Owner Ginette McFarland and two of her employees parked the Dari Barn trailer in the Beebe Circle and started taking orders. Over a one-hour period, Mayflower employees used gift certificates for their food items. 64 employees were available to participate. Another 67 received a coupon for use at the store as their schedule permits.

Plans are to host the “On The Moooove” shop at Mayflower monthly beginning in the spring of 2020.

Members of Mayflower’s Board of Trustees who made the treat possible are Austin Jones, President; Don Schild, Vice-President; Jodie Ryan, Treasurer; Delphina Baumann; Joe Deal; Mark Hudson; Theresa Pagliai; Diane Robertson; Brigit Stevens; Steve Langerud.

Mayflower’s Facilities staff knows how to be in the right place at the right time. Pictured above from left, Jeff Oliver, Wyatt Crawford, Zach Gersdorf, Justin Routier, Joe Derby, Curt Vos, Matt Spencer, Delphina Bauman (Trustee donor!), and Susie Murphy.
