[Steppes] RE: [Ansteorra] Rita Recovery - Canton, TX

[Dyan Johnson]

The evacuees in Canton are being relocated to Reunion Arena in Dallas this evening. This information came from their Police Dept. Any help/donations/volunteers can contact Reunion Arena tomorrow. Personal hygiene items, bedding, books/magazines/activities, diapers, children's toys are all welcome items.

Also too, not being one for big lists and comittees myself, I have been 
giving items to the Salvation Army who have been carrying them direct to 
shelters from our neighborhood donation center at my daughter's school.

If anyone wants to take a trip out to Canton and just bring small things and 
go as welcoming and comforting neighbors, let me know, I would like to come 
along. I think that just having someone to listen to them after what they 
went through is very healing. I know it helped me alot post tornado to have 
hugs and open ears.

Little sample bottles of lotion, shampoo, soap, things like that seem to be 
in short supply.
