BWCA, Flying Burrito, Ames interns

After Dennis Hart's news, we discussed an upcoming event at the APL by Save the Boundary Waters, a campaign to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) and its watershed from sulfide-ore mining.  Mary Richards and Fritz Franzen came in to tell us about what BWCA means to them.  Next we heard from Matthew Goodman, owner of Flying Burrito, a business that been a staple in Camputown since 2003.  His story as ISU student, father, entrepreneur, city councilman, and progressive activist gave us insights into this pivotal time in Ames History.  Allee Wengert, Workforce Development director for the Ames Chamber of Commerce told us about four events planned for interns working in Ames this summer.
