Meet TECH Volunteer, Patty Zies!

My first TECH event was Uncorked in August 2021, I believe. Honestly, I agreed to help out during the event to help the business owner, Gale Wall. She needed volunteers to help for the Uncorked event. I have helped at Uncorked, Winemakers Dinner, Brewmaster’s Dinner, TECH Gala, Hops, and TECH Staff Appreciation Dinner.

Volunteering is important to me, because I feel like it is a great way to give back to the Hutchinson community. You can make a great difference by showing up to help that isn’t necessarily money related. I feel that I get a better understanding of TECH each time I volunteer, because each event raises valuable money for the organization to further their mission.

I can’t think of a specific favorite memory, but the first TECH Gala I helped at was pretty special to experience; especially seeing the cute puppy that was being auctioned that year.

Thank you, Patty, for being such a valuable volunteer here at TECH! We appreciate you!!
