I mentioned before that Lee’s aunt owns a restaurant in the Phoenix area (it’s actually in Mesa) called the Iowa Cafe. Well this Saturday she is holding a fundraiser from 6am to 4pm. She is giving the whole day’s sales to flood victims back here in Iowa.

She’s having a meal special. Breakfast or lunch for just $5. And she has a great menu full of all the goodies we eat here in Iowa like maid-rites and big ‘ol breaded tenderloins.

Yesterday Lee contacted Kurt Warner’s foundation to see if they could help. And they donated a signed helmet. I believe there are some other items to be auctioned off as well.

We have friends who have lost every single thing in their home. Their baby’s crib. Their most prized possessions. Their first home as a family. Other friends needs to replace all their kitchen appliances, their furnace, their water heater, their washer and dryer and their electrical box…and FEMA is giving them just $3000. They were outside the 500 year flood zone so they didn’t have flood insurance. Who would have thought it would have gone out that far? Nobody. So Iowans can really use all the help you can give.

If you are in the Phoenix area, stop by the Iowa Cafe on Saturday for breakfast or lunch (or both). Bid on the Kurt Warner helmet. Tell Aunt Pam hi. And help out an Iowan. We really appreciate it.
