It does not ring a bell, so please forward the number and I will make
the call.

Unfortunately I could not make Karen's meeting this past year, but I
heard it was excellent.  A lot of energy came out of that session, so I
would definitely work to clear my schedule to attend a future training. 
Unfortunately, the folks I know who might be willing to do this are from
my days with the GOP, so they probably would not want to assist us in
our efforts.  Are there other folks in Iowa who could help us with this?

Would they be open to a conference call in the near future?  I would
really like to hear from/speak with them earlier in the cycle.  I
suspect that our budget might make helping with their travel costs
difficult for the next few months, and I would really like to see us get
things rolling before then.
