From newcomers to the elderly, many community residents don't have a state-issued ID card or driver’s license. Photo IDs are often required proof of identity to access many services, including health centers, city or county departments, [caption id="attachment_7668" align="alignleft" width="269"] Example of a Community ID Card[/caption] services from schools, social service agencies, law enforcement, and to participate in cultural and business life in our communities. To meet this need, AMOS congregations in Story County are launching the Central Iowa Community ID card, a photo ID that is reliable proof of the holder’s identity and residence. All those 16 yrs. or older are eligible for this ID card. The first ID card drive is Saturday, March 30, at St. Cecilia Catholic Church, 2900 Hoover Ave., Ames. Doors will open at 9:00 AM. Allow an hour or more. The card costs $8 (cash only) and has a life of two years. All proofs of identity and residence that are used to get an Iowa driver’s license are acceptable, but in addition, some alternative forms of identity documentation can be accepted. Please phone (515) 599-8149 or go to https://sites.google.com/view/communityid/home for information about what forms of proof you will need and what to expect.

SAVE THE DATE! Central Elementary is excited to announce that our 3rd Annual Elementary BINGO Night will be held on Thursday Sept.13th. BINGO will be from 6:00pm - 7:30pm but the doors will open at 5:30pm to buy game books and food. Prices are as follows:

• 1 book of 5 games = $5.00
• 3 books = $10.00
• 5 books = $15.00

Food prices:

• Pizza $2.00 per slice
• Drinks (pop or water) $1.00
• Popcorn $1.00

The money raised from BINGO Night goes to our Student Enterprise fund. This money allows students to use real world experiences to create things or look at potential problems and come up with solutions. Last year, our kindergartners planted and sold gourds to raise money to buy sweatpants for the school nurse for students in need; the second graders designed and built furniture for their classrooms and our multi-age classrooms along with our kindergarten classrooms planted Noah’s Garden for Food at First. These are just a few of the projects the seed money from BINGO Night helped fund. Please join us for a fun-filled, family night on Thursday, September 13th at Central Elementary!!
