I sometimes wondered if the main theme that I have been working with, working together as a district along with working together with other like-minded people in other districts, was catching on with anyone. I think that today I can say the theme is catching on more and more. Some of you have been reading my posts here, others voiced the general ideas I have been posting without realizing it. Those who had not read any of these yet were happy to hear that working together as a district and returning to fundamentals was on my list. They were also not surprised that taking more local control may mean a bit more work by themselves or their families, civic groups or churches. I am met with more and more determination in each stop and community. I have always been optimistic about Iowa's (and our area) future but responses like this raise my hopes even higher. We can succeed. Together. We only have to begin to try.

Silver Lake, Silver linings, Lake Park
Thank you for the warm reception in Lake Park today. Everyone was cheerful and the discussion of problems, ideas and solutions was great! Also, thanks for the Hellinga family stories (some roots in this area in my wife's family history). There were some pretty good ones that I promise not to use with any other members of the family.
