2026 TRC Volunteers

As a volunteer for the Urbandale Republicans, I'm here to promote our core principles and purpose: "Advancing the principles of Liberty at the precinct level through the effective use of communication, organization, and influence". Some of the community service we offer include: register new residents as Urbandale Republicans, speak to groups about founding principles of Liberty, organize the Read the Declaration Ceremony at Lion's Park on Independence Day, organize the Republican Caucuses every two years, invite Urbandale Republican citizens to political events, encourage Urbandale Republican citizens to be informed voters.

KSH Design Studio creates personalized and custom gifts. I specialize in personalizing metal and glass items by mechanical etching. I love to do custom designs for our customers. I offer EMBROIDERY services as gifts and for small businesses. I use Heat Transfer Vinyl for any fabric item such as T-shirts, baby bodysuits, pillow covers and even lawn chairs. I enjoy working with small business owners and using their logos to create items they need for their business such as Logos on apparel (Polo shirts, Jackets, Aprons & Hats). All items are completed by a handmade process by KSH Design Studio. I only use the highest quality materials found in the industry. This provides you, the customer with the best product for the money available. I provide the best customer service possible. I answer all emails as quickly as possible, the same day 99% of the time. I want all your questions answered to your satisfaction! In 2020 I received TSB Certification through the SBA.

I started Community Hand Up in an effort to bring fulfillment to my life. I raised 2 amazing kids by myself while living in poverty. I saw first hand how when we struggle there is not always someone there to give you a hand up. For me being able to make someone else's life a little bit easier is a round about way to make my life easier. There is nothing better than a hug or a thank you from someone who just wanted to feed/cloth their kids.  

I am really enjoying meeting business owners and feeling like a part of this community I have lived in off and on for almost 30 years.

Having a PEACE OF MIND, is PRICELESS!   So, in 2013 I added Legal Shield / ID Shield to my real estate business to help others gain a peace of mind.  ALL people are created equal and EVERYONE should have access to affordable legal services.  Identity theft is on the rise; it’s more than financial theft.  Life is short, enjoy the ride; “LIVE MORE and WORRY LESS”.  

Legal Shield / ID Shield established in 1972.
