Travels with Tiger the Goat

Tiger the Goat raised $1,000 for the ACE Development Fund at the 2005 ACE Conference, thanks to the auction generosity of ACE members led by Kevin Gamble from North Carolina.

But when it came time to leave the party, Tiger couldn't find anyone who wanted to take her home. So she decided to spend the year in scenic Iowa where the grass is greener.

Tiger traveled 1,000 miles by charter bus with 18 Iowa ACE members.

Access to the latest magazines makes a long ride go faster.

When the humans take a rest break, Tiger doesn't have to interrupt her movie-watching. Five movies in 1,000 miles.

Back in Ames, Tiger settles into the daily grind. Breaks only twice a day.

What a novel idea! Your teamwork is enhanced by having fun in a professional setting. Not a surprise that Wayne, Bob and all the gang highlight the accomplishments of EIT in such a creative/hilarious manner at Annual Conference. Way to go!
