2024 Shine the Light Winner: Judy Hess of Fonda

Judy Hess of Fonda was nominated by Kerry Noethe, who is a member-consumer of Calhoun County Electric Cooperative Association. Judy was selected as a 2024 Shine the Light winner for her work with MAGS 4 Fonda, which is a group of mothers and grandmothers who work to improve the parks and pool in their small northwestern Iowa community. Judy started the group in 2018 and is the sparkplug who comes up with creative fundraisers. Shine the Light’s $3,000 donation to MAGS 4 Fonda in Judy’s honor will be used towards their current project to improve Fonda’s basketball court with a new VersaCourt surface.
