“I live in Collins and have been on the committee for the Camelot Theatre and a member of Legion. Having been on the Iowa Arts Council since 2017 I get around to as many places as I can across Iowa to visit and share resources or ideas. It would be great to help any way I can. My personal contact (as you can see where I work). I look forward to connecting with you more.”
