On July 28, 2007, members of Missouri LICA met at the Linn Lion's Club Pavilion to begin their Summer Meeting adventure. We  viewed three Streambank Stabilization projects on the Marie's River. Thanks to the great guidance offered by Rob Pulliam with the Missouri Department of Conservation, our members were able to see one project which was 24 hours old, one which was eight months old, and one which was about seven years old. It was fascinating to see the changes which have taken place over the months and/or years - both before and after the projects were installed.

Members were also given a tour of the heavy equipment operation program offered by Linn State Technical College. We wrapped up the day with a quick business meeting and a great barbecue! Our members sure know how to spread a feast!

We'd like to thank Ken Balkenbusch for all his hard work in making all the arrangements, Rob Pulliam and the Missouri Department of Conservation for their time and talent, as well as Prins Insurance and Continental Western who sponsored the meeting.
