Message from
District 70Dear Brothers and
Sisters:
Obviously the Company is putting out the
wrong information regarding the shut down, etc. We wanted
you to know that we are out of town on Union Business and will be
returning over the upcoming weekend.
On Monday, June 10th, we will be
out on the floor to meet with the Union Stewards and Members.
Getting the correct information to each of you is of upmost
importance, as we realize the huge impact this is having on your
lives and the lives of your families. We are sorry for the
confusion but had the understanding that nothing would surface
until our return.
In Solidarity,
Frank Molina, DBR

Donate Your Unused Medical Equipment to Medical Loan Closet of
Wichita
Do you have any Medical Equipment that is not
being used, taking up space in your house or garage that you
intend to get rid of or donate to a good cause? Well, here is your
chance to do some early spring cleaning and help others in the
process.
The
Medical Loan Closet of Wichita has an urgent need for
Durable Medical Equipment.
The following is a message from Lloyd Hanna,
the Executive Director of the Medical Loan Closet of Wichita.
“Hello, I need your help. When friends ask
how the MLC of Wichita is doing, I say business is good, but the
reality is, it is sad so many folks have needs that are not being
met.”
Equipment requests the first two weeks of
December; 1-hospital bed, 2-walkers, 1-blood pressure cuff,
1-bedside commode, 8-wheelchairs, 1-walker with wheels, 1-exterior
ramp, 1-toilet seat riser, 1 nebulizer, 1 hydraulic bath chair,
1-barietic walker, and 3-tub transfer benches have gone out the
door with many, many, many recipients saying…thank you…thank
you…”I don’t know what I would have done.”
That list follows the
“230+” items already loaned since we started providing service in
May 2012!
At the end of 2012, the
current waiting list is for: 2-hospital beds, 2-knee walkers,
3-lift chairs, 4-bath transfer benches, 2-bath seats and 2-18”
wheelchairs.
“Would you contact your friends, your social
network, your church, your fellow workers and maybe even look in
your garage, to see if there is any
“Durable Medical Equipment”
not being used… Please consider donating them to the MLC of
Wichita. Thank You!”
