Sorry for the late notice on the Des Moines meeting -- I just received this
late today (I realize it's too late to attend that meeting, but I am
including it to show when a meeting was held for the DM area).

If you are interested in how and where transportation enhancement funds are
spent for trails, etc. you might want to attend a meeting near you.  There
is a lot of money spent each year in Iowa through this funding, and it
could be an enlightening experience to participate.
