New Food Drive Record
A Record 73.4 Million Pounds!
Despite an economy teetering between a recession and a depression, the NALC and the American public came through by donating a record 73.4 million pounds!
Here in Iowa, 36 branches across the state participated in the annual food drive. For more info, see the NALC "Stamp Out Hunger" Web site or the June 2009 issue of The Postal Record.

Convention Held in Cedar Rapids
"NALC Branch Leaders Meet"
NALC Branch Leaders from across the state met in Cedar Rapids for the bi-annual state convention. Besides regular convention business, elections were held (see link to ISALC officers for results). National officers, Secretary/Treasurer Jane Broendel, Health Benefits Director Tim O'Malley and NBA Mike Weir also put on training as well as answered questions.
Barack Obama
"Could Have Gone Anywhere"
Barack Obama could have gone anywhere after he got out of college, but instead he went to work organizing unemployed steelworkers in Chicago.
I think he summed up what he's all about when he said: "Politics didn't lead me to working folks; working folks led me into politics."
