Des Moines and Ankeny Outflys

By far the most dicey weather of this season so far and last season combined happened on June 22nd for the Des Moines Outfly. The strong winds and rain did not deter the alumni though! Over 2/3 of the registrants came out sporting their orange and still enjoyed the event even though it was not picnic weather. Alex Madole '13 represented the student body and spoke about some of the opportunities she has had while at Wartburg. She had just spent the past May traveling with the choir throughout Europe performing and will be studying abroad next semester in Berlin! Alex also told about the Des Moines Orange Connection program she participated in. She got to stay in Des Moines with an alum and learn about the magazine industry.
One of the top five reasons to attend an Outfly could very arguably be to get good dessert and the Madole's definitely supported that logic! The cream pie they brought was gone in no time!
In Ankeny, there were several toddlers who enjoyed all the Wartburg memorabilia. They ran around the Lakeside Center playing with orange and black beads, balloons, knights, and spent time with the Wartburg coloring books as well. Rex Davidson '12 spoke at the Ankeny Outfly where he, like Alex, shared about his experience with the Wartburg International Choir Tour and additionally informed the attendees about his vision for Student Senate next year as he will be the President of Wartburg's student body.
