In the wake of what is being called one of the worst national disasters in U.S. history, we at R:BASE Technologies, express our deepest sympathy to the residents of the New Orleans area effected by Hurricane Katrina and to our members, colleagues, and friends who have lost loved ones. We express our support to those who are still awaiting word on the fates of family members, friends, and colleagues in the affected areas. We also wish to convey empathy with those who are experiencing the effects of disruptions of social supports and destruction and loss of property. The grief associated with this disaster is universal, and touches all of our lives.
Among many charity and disaster relief organizations, the Salvation Army is currently providing services to storm victims and first responders in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. The Salvation Army's Emergency Radio Network is working to provide information concerning the health and welfare of affected residents to anxious family members and loved ones. Monetary donations may be sent to your local Salvation Army earmarked "Disaster Relief", made on-line at http://www.salvationarmyusa.org or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY. As a long time supporter of the Salvation Army and their cause to help Project Bundle-Up for over 19 years, any funds donated by the R:BASE Community, from now through the 2005 R:BASE Developers' Conference in October, will be matched by R:BASE Technologies, Inc. Should any member of the R:BASE Community in the affected area require any software assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1+724.733.0053. With Deepest Regards, R:BASE Technologies, Inc.
