2 Things happening today

From the National Trails Symposium 2006 site:


Building Trails Public Awareness Event

Location: Great River Hall
Time: 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Cost: Free -- Open to the Public

To provide the local community with an opportunity to visit exhibitors and learn about the Symposium, the Exhibit Hall will be open to attendees, guests and local trail enthusiasts free of charge. Music entertainment will be provided by The Flip Flops, a husband and wife duo, whose fun, frivolous and crowd favorites are sure to make for a festive evening. Dozens of outdoor recreation groups from the Quad Cities will offer table-top activities for everyone. There will be a special presentation on the American Discovery Trail and other programs on off-the-beaten-path travel. Iowa's centennial celebration of the Antiquities Act of 1906 will also be featured. An Iowa Congressman, John Fletcher Lacey, authored and championed the act, which allows Presidents to preserve federal lands. Many National Parks were first proclaimed as National Monuments. Federal and state officials will conduct a ceremony to honor this visionary Iowan since the National Trails Symposium is being held in his own state.

From Alderman Hamerlinck's blog:

This Thursday I will be hosting our October Ward meeting at 5:30pm at the Elks Club (4400 West Central Park). All are welcome to attend.

"There's nothing ever going on at the RiverCenter"...

500 people staying in hotels, eating, shopping and enjoying downtown. That is a whole lot of nothing.
