> The outpouring of generosity for our family in Meridies has been
> overwhelming and inspiring!  Much has been collected to aid their basic
> needs.  Everyday I receive emails of support and offers of housing,
> monies and amazing items, such as computers, musical instruments,
> scribal supplies, and so forth.  This makes me proud to be part of the
> SCA and this great family. Effectively we have taken this disaster and
> created new policies, laws and systems against future events such as
> this.  The Board of Directors have coined new policies to meet those
> needs and you should be award of them.  (See
> http://www.sca.org/docs/katrina.html)  The last number of years have
> taught us new lessons by heaving upon us new challenges in this
> ever-changing existence.  Many folks who are not members have been
> inspired by your spirit and have also offered to help in our cause,
> knowing that our membership touches every community, with members from
> every walk of life.
> 
> Although we have made an impact, the work is not done.  Now is the time
> for rebuilding lives and to re-knit back the social fabric which has
> been torn by this disaster.  Again, I call upon you for your support.
