Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Hope this newsletter finds you all healthy and happily getting ready for a nice holiday week. I've been shopping, drafting bills, wrapping, attending meetings, decorating, planning speakers for my committees, visiting friends, and so much more. It's great fun and I love to be this busy. One thing I am particularly proud of is the fact that I did not spend a single dime outside of Benton and Iowa counties for Christmas presents. Last year I almost made it, except for a couple of Barnes and Noble purchases. It's very important and I can't encourage you enough...Shop Locally!
Events you might be interested in...there are upcoming "Bills for a Better Iowa" forums planned in three locations around our district. I need your feedback. Please try to attend one or if you know of someone interested, let them know about the following:
December 27th 6:30 p.m.
Norway Public Library
108 Railroad St. E.
December 28th 6:30 p.m.
Keystone Public Library
93 Main Street
January 3rd 6:30 p.m.
Vinton City Hall
110 W. 3rd Street
Hope to see you soon, but as always, if you have questions or concerns please call or email. The best number to reach me now is my cell phone. It is 319-610-3412.
Have a wonderful, joyous Christmas!
