Kidney Day fly-in needs Iowa representative

NKF Iowa has an opportunity to select somebody from Tom Latham's congressional district to attend World Kidney Day (March 13, 2008) in Washington, D.C.

If you live in the 4th District of Iowa and would be willing to go to Washington DC (all expenses paid) to talk to Representative Latham, please contact Diane Hagarty asap. If you know of somebody else that meets this criteria, please forward their contact info to her so she can follow-up.

We are on a very tight timeline for this so Diane needs to hear back from you right away.

What is involved?

You would fly into Washington DC, attend some NKF training sessions (to learn how to talk to elected officials) and then actually meet with Tom Latham. Depending upon flight schedules, this might cover three days. There is no expense to participate - the National Kidney Foundation (National) covers all expenses.

How to reach Diane if you're interested:
Phone: 319/369-4474
Toll Free: 800/369-3619

Not sure if you live in Representative Latham's district? There's a list of towns/cities on his website: http://www.tomlatham.house.gov/PAGES/ia04.htm
