[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 55593"] Regarding Katrina and the Teamsters, this is on the front page of [url="http://www.teamsters.org"]www.teamsters.org[/url] . "<font color="0000ff">Disaster Relief Fund Ready to Assist Teamsters Affected by Katrina August 30, 2005 Hurricane Katrina is plowing through Southern states, particularly Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and leaving billions of dollars of destruction in its wake. Countless families have been left badly in need of shelter, clothing, clean water and other supplies. The Teamsters Disaster Relief Fund is specifically designed to assist members who have suffered a loss in natural disasters, and will be working to help members affected by this hurricane. The fund depends on donations from our local unions and other affiliates. For many years, Teamsters have contributed tax-deductible donations to this 501(c)3 IRS charitable fund. A number of our brothers and sisters in the Southeast really need your help and support, said C. Thomas Keegel, General-Secretary-Treasurer. This natural disaster has rocked that portion of the country, and we need to step up and help our Teamster family members reestablish their homes and normal lives. In the past, the outpouring of support from individual Teamsters, Local Unions, and Joint Councils has been inspiring, said Cheryl Johnson, Secretary of the Teamsters Disaster Relief Fund. We are hoping to again inspire you to help. Donation checks are to be made payable to Teamsters Disaster Relief Fund and mailed to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 25 Louisiana Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001."</font> Money will be the thing needed the most again and you should donate to the Teamsters or Red Cross or whomever you think is the most appropriate agency to help. After Hurricane Andrew our local (Michigan) took several semi loads of water down to the area with donated local equipment and volunteered Teamster drivers and handlers. I imagine other locals did similarly and will be doing so again and soon as it's needed now. It would be nice to have our head (Hoffa) make a personal official statement regarding this catastrophe though. [/QUOTE]
