Help Your Colleagues: Midwest Businesses Hit Hard By Floods

From the Paddlesports Industry Association:

Many Midwest paddlesports rental and outfitting businesses have been hit hard by the recent flooding. And according to the National Weather Service, this may just be the beginning.

Huge rainstorms in the Midwest last week brought "apocalyptic" floods to areas in Arkansas,   Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere. And according to media and government reports, these floods may just be the start of more throughout the Spring. Huge snowfalls throughout the U.S. have raised the risk of severe flooding in the mountain West, the North-central states, and even the Northeast.

We've already learned that at least a dozen member businesses in Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio have suffered significant losses of equipment, facilities, and inventory. Now's your chance to help out your fellow paddlesports business owners and staff.
