Greeting from Iowa City
We did not blow away in the tornado last Thursday (April 13), but Iowa City did sustain significant damage. The hotel is undamaged except for the parking ramp and the conference will go on as planned. The windows in the parking ramp elevator blew out and they are currently working on getting them replaced. The only inconvenience might be using the stairs instead of the elevator but we are hopeful it will be taken care of.
Our church building was very fortunate in receiving only minor damage -- two broken windows. Further up Iowa Avenue, the street our church is on, there was substantial damage to a residential neighborhood. The entire community has been pitching in cleaning up the mess and we are hopeful the streets will be open soon. The route we gave you in the confirmation letter is open and fine for traffic.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
