Katrina relief

[Beth]

Hey everyone,

In case you wanted to make a donation to the relief efforts for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, here's a link:

http://www.redcross.org/

There was a radio effort in the Coachella Valley (where the EB factory is) and their goal was $100,000.00. After only one day of receiving contributions, they raised over $300,000.00 for the Red Cross relief efforts -- little kids were even giving them their "life savings" in a piggy bank! The compassion is enough to move anyone to tears.

So make your donations now! Help is needed!

Thanks From The Gulf Coast

Just a word of thanks from someone who lives on the Gulf Coast.

I was spared the brunt of Katrina but took Ivan and Dennis on the chin so I can tell you that the pictures you see on the news do not convey the sheer devastation that occurs when a strong hurricane like this hits. In a few short horrific hours, people are nearly knocked back into the stone age. Although the media is focused on New Orleans, there are just as many people in the path of Katrina that have been affected. There are towns in Mississippi that have been completely flattened. The kind of flattened that you see in pictures from Hiroshima.

You quickly realize exactly what you take for granted in life when it's ripped away.

I donated to the Red Cross myself this weekend but here's a link to a bunch of other relief charities as well.
