Political Quotes

“Every year, the Washington- Centerville Public Library sponsors the Erma Bombeck writing competition, focused on humor and human-focused essays. Only four winners are chosen out of hundreds of entries from across the world. Among this year's winners is Charla Schafer from Muscatine, Iowa, who won the global humor category with her piece ``Funeral Notes.'' In a world often fraught with challenges, Charla's ability to infuse humor and humanity into her writing is a true gift. After serving with distinction in various leadership roles, including the vice president of marketing and retail banking at First National Bank of Muscatine, and executive director at the Muscatine Center for Social Action, she continues to lead by example as president of the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine and as a board member of the Iowa Council of Foundations. I congratulate Charla on this remarkable achievement. National Agriculture Day”
