Jon has just been a wonderful addition to the Ankeny Chamber of Commerce, and he steps in and just does whatever is asked of him and then some.

Gold Rush Days were originally started by the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce to extend the tourist season. Prior to that time, the organization sponsored winter rodeos.

Maybe other countries or people will not attack, knowing we would not stand for this. Bush said we would go after terrorists, and we are. That might keep some from doing something here.

From a professional's perspective, I am most excited about Renallo's wonderful setting for a business lunch. It has a comfortable upscale atmosphere where the person sitting at the next table doesn't overhear a business discussion. You get a professional, yet friendly, dining experience from the staff and owner at Renallo's.

I enjoy the great atmosphere for a sit-down fireside, white tablecloth, intimate dinner. I also enjoy the upscale casual setting, which is perfect for a stop after a golf outing or a day of shopping.

I don't think Matt's seen it.
