Marcie and Amy met with Andrew today! He is a Legislative Aide to Senator Grassley! Andrew specifically works with arts and humanities issues and was back in Iowa meeting with constituents.

We had a great discussion about Carroll Children's Museum's future plans! Andrew offered sound advice and support for our organization. It's reassuring when someone new visits and fully understands the importance of what we have created and will continue to expand upon 😍

Step 3: Become slightly hungry.
Step 4: Acquire snack.
