Things have been busy with the Pilot Cities Project here in Cedar Rapids. Last Tuesday I had a meeting with the Rev. Jonathan Offt of Trinity Lutheran to talk about RESULTS and the working poor. Trinity has 40 families who were flooded. I didn't get a definite yes, but there was certainly interest in what RESULTS could do for people. On Friday I met with the Rev. Christopher Pedasky of Immaculate Conception about the Hispanic community that worships there. He wanted more brochures so he could put them out and see if people picked them up. I took him 10 brochures in English and 10 in Spanish. I will check back with both spiritual leaders in two weeks to follow up.
I just got back from a meeting with Rabbi Aaron Sherman at Temple Judah. He is very interested in members of Temple joining the Cedar Rapids RESULTS group. We're thinking of doing the informational meeting sometime in September around the High Holy Days.
On another note, I will be talking about my two years of being uninsured while I was unemployed and waiting for my disability hearing at the meeting with Senator Harkin's aide, Janelle. The topic is healthcare and we want the Senator to lead the charge in the Senate for a single-payer healthcare bill.
