Leanne Harter started our program with the Story County Report followed by memories of the first Earth Day in 1970 discussed by Larry Stone with Pat Schlarbaum. Sarah Carmichael, executive director of Iowa Rivers Revival, told us about the origins and work of IRR as well as why they had designated Ames 2021 Iowa River Town of the Year . Turning to Immigrant Children, Linda Hanson and Jan Flora of Ames United Church of Christ, discussed their first-hand experiences of conditions in Honduras and Guatemala that are the "push" factor for children coming to the Mexican border and ultimately seeking relatives in Iowa.
