Sara Hollerich
P.O. Box 399
Prairie City, IA 50228
Ideas for somewhere else to meet? – Other locations were discussed for meeting places. Soon IOU will be moving outdoors for the summer meetings. Possibly one of Polk counties parks or Gray’s Lake. Ideas for the fall meetings would be appreciated. Places like Penara Bread in West Des Moines are a possibility. We would like to meet somewhere that is free to the club, somewhere that would allow us to have our own meeting room, and a place that doesn’t mind if we bring in gear.
Joe Galloway ran the Sestina 100 in Alaska which is a 100 mile race. Check out the website for more information.
