I would like to publicly thank Laura Belin, Susan Ekstrom, Debbie Neustadt and Tarah Heinzen for participating in this year's Drake Relays parade. The parade kicks off Relays Week and we were, with a couple of exceptions, supported by the crowd. We promoted clean energy and, thanks to Laura, we had a Prius to show as living proof that auto manufacturers can build vehicles that are attractive and can conserve energy. In spite of the frigid temperatures, we distributed a "guesstimated" 600 booklets, countless Earth Day stickers, and we ran out of tattoos and static window stickers. Thank you Laura, Susan, Debbie and Tarah!
