(California, MO) - Members of AFSCME's Missouri Council helped make a happier weekend recently for families of National Guard service men and women who are deployed overseas. Through charitable giving, AFSCME members provided twenty-five tickets for a June 7th Rodeo in California, Missouri to the spouses and children of Mid-Missouri troops who are currently serving the country on forsign shores.
The charitable giving represents the desire of public workers and union members to recognize the sacrifice of members of the military by reaching out to their families.
"AFSCME's Missouri members appreciate the service of their friends and neighbors. Helping the families of deployed Guard members enjoy an event like the rodeo is just a small measure of our appreciation," said staff representative Eric Moore.
