The historic floods and related
weather of 2008 are devastating Iowa from border to border. Homes and
livelihoods are being ripped away from Little Sioux to Mason City, from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa City and Coralville to Burlington, Fort Madison and here in Des
Moines. There are countless AFSCME members that are being affected in every
corner of the State.
AFSCME Iowa Council 61 has created an account to aide these
victims. Please reach down deep in your pockets and contribute what you can,
from passing the hat at your meetings to making a contribution from your Local’s
treasury. The devastation is deep – some of our families have nothing left.
Please send your checks to AFSCME Iowa Council 61 and make them payable to:
Midwest Flood Relief
AFSCME Iowa Council 61
4320 NW Second
Avenue
Des Moines,
Iowa 50313
If you know of members in your area that have been impacted
by these disasters, please make them aware that they may be eligible for
