Team Sand invites you to join us for an evening of civil discourse for a better Iowa! This event is intended to create a sense of community between citizens of all political parties by discussing points of agreement, bridging the partisan divide, and describing common issues facing Iowan communities. Members of Team Sand will pose questions that encourage individuals to build bridges with people who may have different political views. While Rob will not be there, we will offer Casey's Pizza as a consolation!
