Carolyn Raffensperger started our program with a discussion about the cornoavirus crossing between species, which illustrates the importance of recognizing the inter-relatedness of all nature, and how much we rely on the nature around us. Then Rick Exner and Nancy Heideman of the COVID-19 Fund for Immigrants told us about a partnership of churches and civic groups concerned with the desperate situation of our immigrant neighbors. Susan Gwiasda, Public Relations Officer for the City of Ames, was joined by Vanessa Baker-Latimer, Ames Housing Coordinator; to tell us about housing projects during the crisis, available programs, as well as where to get help. (the phone numbers for both Susan and Vanessa are available by clicking their links).
