March 01, 2005

2005 Iowa Regents' Day
Chris and Elise went to the state capital and represented AMS. Chris had a radar display and we also had our poster presented. They talked to our Ames Senator and the Story County Supervisor. They were very interested in our club and our connection to our community. We hinted at what we could do with more money!
