Update on Witt's Pharmacy in Rushford

Lots of developments for flood-damaged Rushford and SE Minnesota-cleanup continues and state aid is on its way. While this is great for the area, and support will still be given to Witt's Pharmacy, MPhA and Tom Witt say more help is needed-check out the letter here. Also, we at MPSA will have a bucket to pass around to collect support for Witt's Pharmacy-and MPSA will match donations up to $500!!! That's $2 for the price of $1!! I look forward to seeing you this afternoon at the meeting and at the Recognition Banquet!

Relief for Witt's Pharmacy and Rushford

In today's meeting, Craig talked about the need to help out in Rushford, in particular with Witt's Pharmacy-an independent pharmacy in the small town of Rushford Minnesota. The pharmacy's inventory, records and everything else were destroyed; but people still need their medications. MPhA has organized a relief fund and issued a release asking for help. Student's interested in heading down to Rushford can contact Craig at glie0008@umn.edu and be put in contact with people who are heading down to help out. We will also be passing around a bucket to collect donations to help get Tom back on his feet. Also, here's some current news on relief efforts from the Red Cross.
