Hello Friends!

Wow....it sure is hot, and it looks like it will be hotter in Iowa in 2 weeks, when I will be doing RAGBRAI, a 500 mile bike ride across the State, from the Missouri, to the Mississippi! I am joining a group of 5. We are renting an RV and the guys (they won't let me) will take turns driving the RV from town to town. 

As I have in past years, I am doing this with Catholic Charities as a fundraiser for one of their Key Homeless initiatives....The Samaritan House. The team (over 70 of us) have raised over $2.1M in the last 8 years, all thanks to people like YOU, willing to donate for this great cause! May I, once again, request your support?

I know that every year I say now the need is greater than ever, but it true that homelessness is not something we put an end to....we manage it. And your donations will help do just that!

If you are concerned about Catholic Charities reaching out to you in teh future due to your donation....just check the box for one time donation, and not to be reached for future donations. 

Thanks for your consideration of this request!

André
