Many thanks to the Iowa Energy, which gave us the chance to be part of the team’s Military Appreciation Night this month. We got to do a center-court presentation to call attention to the grand total in lottery proceeds raised so far for the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund (IVTF)!
I'm shown here with Colonel Bob King, Executive Director of the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs and Director of the Iowa Veterans Cemetery. Colonel King served in the Iowa National Guard for nearly 36 years prior to his September 2004 retirement.
He got the ceremonial check showing that the lottery has raised nearly $20 million since 2008 to help Iowa veterans and their families through the IVTF. The precise total with our transfer for fiscal year 2016, which we made to the Trust Fund in late October, is $19,852,121.
