Hurricane Relief Appeal

Hurricanes Katrina and now Rita have devastated many members of our Union.  Brothers and sisters throughout the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and other parts of the Gulf Coast have been beaten by winds, flooding and total destruction within a short amount of time.

Traditionally, in times of tragedies such as these we have appealed to the membership for donations.  Without fail, IAM members have responded with warm-hearted generosity.   It is in this tradition and to that spirit of generosity - that we now make this appeal.

The funds that are received will be distributed directly to IAM families on the basis of need.  Needless to say, there will be strict accounting made of all funds received and disbursed.

IAM sisters and brothers need our help.  We are confident that you will join us in responding to this need of helping our members reconstruct their lives.

Checks should be made out to:

IAM Disaster Relief Fund
