I received this email regarding the hurricane victims down south. Just for your info. Mike From: Colleen Pace [AARS] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 8:30 AM To: Subject: Katrina Help Hello fellow American ~ It feels good to know we have proof that America cares for its own. After going on the Red Cross sight (www.redcross.org) to make a contribution for the Katrina survivors Tuesday night, I attempted to return to the site Wednesday night to see what else I could do ..and couldnt get on. It must have been getting so many hits that it was crashing. But, here is some great news . We now have an address where we can actually ship things to help a clean, dry place with tens of thousands of people in need, and within 350 miles of those survivors who cannot escape. So, here are three ways you can ship truly needed supplies to our southern friends. 1) If you are a member of Quixtar, pump your points by sending a care package from your own catalogs. Our warehousing system is in-place to get the products out immediately. Consumables like toothpaste, baby diapers, etc. or clothing like underwear (both kids and adults!) .whatever. We have everything in our catalogs so lets make September our biggest point month ever by giving to this effort! If you are not a Quixtar member and dont know one, you can do one of two really affordable things: 1) Pull together from your own home things families can use down there including toys your kids have outgrown! Can you imagine caring for a 3-year-old inside the Astrodome?! 2) Go to your local Goodwill Store and help those folks the same time youre helping the folks that were cleaned out by Katrina! If its been a while since youve been inside a Goodwill store (or never have been), then this is a great time to find how much really good, like-brand-new stuff is there REALLY cheap. Heres the Address. Use this heading so the receivers know it is all coming from this one campaign. That way, if they need special things, or are receiving too much of a particular thing, they can ask the media to speak to our group directly! Our Group refers all the people across the nation who got hooked on the giving from one of those silly e-mail send-alongs! It will be fun to see where-all the e-mail goes. Address: From Your Friends Across the Nation c/o American Red Cross Houston Astrodome 8400 Kirby Drive Houston TX 77054 Finally, they are saying that these families will not be able to return to their homes for months. If it were me, I would want nothing more than to go back to my home broken or gone as it may be. But, if the Red Cross learns that these people truly need to be placed, and if you have a room and want to consider being a foster family, write to the same address and title it Foster Family c/o Red Cross at the Astrodome. If we use the Astrodome as the one delivery point, our info will not be going to a million Red Cross centers across the nation, and I suspect the NFL will offer some employees to help care for the incoming mail and packages. So there it is. Pass this on to EVERYONE on your e-mail list, and enjoy seeing yourself being part of a real help! Love you, love them, love America! ======================================================= Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry Mike May, Executive Director & Registrar PO Box 685 Webster, NY 14580-0685 ; &nbs p; &nb sp; Voice 585-872-4114 FAX 585-787-0497 http://www.nfhr.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
