Senators highlight Habitat, university and co-op outreach in morning announcements
Summary
Several senators used morning recognitions to invite colleagues and the public to events: Habitat for Humanity of Iowa serving breakfast in the rotunda, a Metro Waste Authority reception, a Des Moines University breakfast, a student visitor, and guests from the Institute of Co-ops.
Multiple senators used their time on the floor for community and institutional announcements. Senator Greene invited members to Habitat for Humanity of Iowa's "day at the Capitol," noting breakfast service in the rotunda from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and saying the Habitat network "built and repaired 5 10 houses across Iowa" as part of her description of the group's work.
Senator Pike invited senators to the Metro Waste Authority legislative reception at 4:00 p.m. at the group's Locust Street office. Senator Hardman invited members to a Des Moines University breakfast in the rotunda the following morning from 7:00–9:00 a.m., describing DMU as a major producer of family practice physicians who serve rural counties. Senator Sweeney introduced guests from the Institute of Co-ops who provided a breakfast and were present in the gallery. Senator Donahue introduced Allison Klosterman, a Cedar Rapids City View High School student shadowing the senator for the day.
The announcements focused on civic engagement and outreach, with senators encouraging colleagues to meet constituents, students and institutional partners during upcoming breakfasts and receptions.
