List Members, Take what Ms. Quast said to heart, and also remember this: Do not bring food items that have been sitting on your shelf that you would not really want to eat yourself. Donate stuff that TASTE's good too. They have lost jobs, not their tastebuds. They will not be choosy, but remember to treat your neighbor as yourself. Pamela Taylor (Florida, but who has family in Minneapolis affected by the strike.)

Between 9 AM and 3PM, please bring (or send along with a UMn staff member or student) non-perishable food items to one of the following locations: Mondale Law School Lobby (probably the easiest drop off site. There's a drive circle outside the door.) Carlson School Info Desk Wilson Library Basement Level (Tunnel) entrance Skyway convenience store (over Washington Ave.) Whether you agree with the politics or not, these are real people with real families who really need support. They are your neighbors and probably your friends. Don't forget the baby food and other baby items, and bringing pet food for the furry members of the family is also a good idea. Cake mix and frosting because strikers' kids have birthdays. diapers. laundry soap. tp and tissue. it all helps. This drive is sponsored by AFSCME Local 3800 and Local 3937 and all donations will be appreciated --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
