School-to-Career Intern 

 

 

As a new intern I am learning a lot. I am learning about all the different businesses in the area. By creating business profiles and this newsletter I feel that my skills as a writer have and will keep improving, along with learning how to manage and create newsletters. I find what I am doing interesting and I am really enjoying it. I hope that you enjoy it also.

June 13, 2008

The area east of downtown has been evacuated and the volunteer effort has been moved to the American Legion.  Sandbagging continues with the focus on strengthening weak spots.  The crest is expected on Monday.  Again, we are grateful for the outpouring of goodwill and generosity and the support of the various agencies involved especially The Guard.


June 12, 2008
The rivers are rising and every effort is being made to control and
minimize the negative effect that we might come from the flooding. A
large levy system has been built to protect the businesses and buildings east of downtown and the water plant. We are grateful for the many volunteer hours, the support from various agencies and the Governor's office and the many donations of food and equipment. For more information please check back to this website or regional media sources. For road closing information check www.louisacountyiowa.org/louisa/notices/RoadsClosed.html
