The middle of June - Almostfo

It has been a few busy weeks here in Iowa. Planning for Vern's Historic Metals Workshop goes forward. We have a few people that say they will sign up. If we get 10 that would be great. Just last night a college student was very interested, so we will see. The good thing is that we have very nearly covered the costs of the workshop with the music on Tuesday nights at Lonnski's. And that money is being matched to a grant from Brownell's Inc. in Montezuma. They see a community effort and reward it. Yeah for our team.

Our transition from the umbrella of GPCF should be finished by June 15. Things take so long, it can be quite frustrating. But waiting and being patient allows for others to catch up and hopefully have time to commit to the team.

The bridge lift is still scheduled for early July, when water flows go down. If we get the SHPO grant, the engineering will commence immediately and because we will have our legal stuff complete by then, we should be able to go forward with some restoration.
