I spent the weekend traveling through New Mexico, south and west into Arizona. I've stopped to make sure that all of the grants that we can get in today, get in today.
We are so new, it truly is amazing that anything happens. Magically, it seems, things come around. I spoke with the Iowa National Guard last week about lifting our bridge with a helicoptor, and they will get back to me soon. It would be a training exercise for them, and, as such, would not be a budget breaker. Yippee. Moving forward.
Vern called yesterday. The end of June is a great time for he and his wife to come to Iowa and perform a 3-day hands on seminar at the bridge for working with all of the iron. His syllabus looks tough, but there is no test at the end. We'll give you a blue book for notes. Vern's seminar is the grant that is going in today. Should be good.
I am still looking for a venue for the Auction/Gala. The Community Center doesn't allow alcohol or food, so that wouldn't be fun. Any ideas out there? Fair Grounds. In the meantime I continue to look for items for auction. Maybe we go online for that matter, open it up to our friends in other places. Just asked my Cousin Cindy for the first donation.
