Lyle, Do you have EVEC materials that pertain to the First District House Race? Sorry I have been so wrapped up in the auction and the San Francisco trip I may have missed my cue to get Northwest Iowa people involved. Have a good time at the dinner/auction.

Last evening Erin Jordahl, Mike Shaw (who was the voice in one of our EVEC radio ads) and myself, met at the office for 2.5 hours, and in that time targeted calls to a list of Sierra Members in County Seat towns in the 4th Congressional District. These were towns basically "outside" the existing Sierra Groups. Calling just 2-5 people in each of them we obtained commitments from 1-3 people in each town who would take responsibility for 200-400 Voter Guides door to door, and to have them complete by October 20. Today I shipped by Priority Mail 11 packets for a total of 2200 Voter Guides. They will be distributed door to door in the following towns: Estherville, Emmetsburg, Mason City, Decorah, Boone, Nevada, Story City, Perry, and Winterset. In addition, 1600 will be taken door to door next Saturday, 10/19, in Indianola, and probably 1000 in Ames. High school kids and a few Sierra volunteers are taking 300 to Adel next Tuesday. The key was...it was measurable and doable. And when asked people responded. Now if the Club Group Leaders, in Eagle View, White Pine, Cedar Prairie, Cedar Wapsie, Northwest, Iowa City and Leopold, can pick up the challenge, with about 500 per group, we will have met all our goals! And that many pieces door to door in one week all over the state will make a big difference. Isn't that what we are all about! Those candidates will notice! Thanks for helping make it happen in your Group! THANKS. THANKS. THANKS! To Erin and Mike, and the brand new Sierra Club Volunteers who are making it happen in their communities!
