He also demonstrated simple search techniques to determine how many club members are listed in the State of Iowa’s fund (Great Iowa Treasure Hunt). Chad is an unpaid volunteer for a new non-profit organization called Discovered Money. The organization has recently completed its website updates and is excited to showcase the new features including: Unclaimed Property street maps, Ten Most Wanted lists and more!

Our September service project will be cleaning in Middle Park on Saturday, September 24th. We’ll meet at the Lagoon at 9 a.m., and we plan to work our way over to Splash Landing. (It is wise to bring gloves for this work.) Maria will bring garbage bags, and we can leave them near the entrance of Splash Landing to be picked up the following Monday. Please let Maria know if you can join us for this worthwhile park clean-up project!
