Letter from the President

Terrace Hill was a beautiful location for hosting

the May meeting. The mansion is truly filled

with many architectural treasures and beautiful

pieces of art. The tour guide shared fun stories

about the property and the owners from years

ago. I can only imagine what life was like living in

that beautiful mansion in the late 1800s and

sliding down that banister. I would like to thank

Katherine of Katherine McClure Photography for

giving us the opportunity to learn more about her photography

business. One of many highlights for the evening was when Katherine

took a group photo of our Chapter on the grand staircase. The picture

turned out perfect as it will be enjoyed by our Chapter for years to

come. Katherine, Thank You for a wonderful evening.

It is my pleasure to welcome a new member firm, Laura Montgomery

of Hubbell Realty, to the Chapter. Laura has been with Hubbell Realty

for many years and is a delight to visit with. If you didn’t get a chance

to meet Laura at April’s meeting, please introduce yourself.

I’m looking forward to meeting your friends and relatives at

the June 1 meeting! The Thrive for Five Membership Campaign is

in full swing as we have one new member firm, possibly two new

member firms, to count towards our Chapter goal of having the most

new member firms during the campaign. Please extend an invitation

to your friends and relatives to attend the June 1 meeting at Drake

University where the Lorentzen Student Hatchery will be sharing

their new business adventures. Let’s keep the enthusiasm rolling as

we build our Chapter.

The ASIST Scholarship application deadline has been extended to

May 24. Our Chapter is awarding a total of $6,000 to be given to

several adults who are in a transitional situation or who are in need of

financial aid in order to further their education. If you know of

anyone who may need some college assistance, please have them

contact Deanna Dunn.
