the Des Moines area.
The Basketball

The

stiff competition from a
variety of other teams.

The

by a VIP Reception for
advisors and visiting dignitaries,
then a large banquet in
the grand dining room of
the Scottish Rite
building in downtown Des
Moines. The dinner
was prepared by advisors

Kevin Smith, both
accomplished chefs, and
was spectacular -
featuring hand sliced

Cheddar soup and huge
baked
potatoes.
The
evening ended with the
