East High School Bell Ringers
The second Tuesday of every month from 7:15-8:30am, the Euclid Hy-Vee hosts a networking event with FREE breakfast. They’ve been doing this for three years and I’ve been attending for about six months. Great networking group. It’s now affiliated with the Des Moines East South Chambers. Attendees share their 30-second commercial with the group followed by a program.
Today, the East High School Bell Ringers put on a short program. Below are a few photos and videos of their performance:
Book Review: Iowa’s Ethnic Roots
I’ve always been interested in the ethnic roots of wherever I happen to be. I was born outside of St. Louis, Missouri and then moved to Suamico, Wisconsin, Sarasota, Florida, Muscatine, Iowa, Waverly, Iowa (for college), Cologne, Germany and 12 years ago, I landed in Des Moines, Iowa.
My roots are VERY German. My ancestors arrived, mostly from what is currently Alsace region of France (which was formerly Germany), just prior to the American Civil War. While I haven’t done extensive genealogical research on my family, oral histories have been passed down through the generations.
Book Review: Socialnomics – How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business
Books written about social media tend to become dated as soon as they go to print. I got my hands on the a version of this book that was published in 2009. It felt like I was reading a history book since this field changes so quickly! Luckily, there has been a revised version published in 2012, so I recommend you pick up that copy.
