Alex, thank you so much for your donation to the Red Cross and for your
kind words. You're a most considerate lady.
 
Please don't think I feel unappreciated. That really isn't the concern
at all.... those people in great need are. Perhaps I'm a bit militant
and to the point when it comes to times like this. And for that, I
apologize if I offended anyone. I don't mean to be abrasive, but rather
cut to the chase and just get the job done as quickly and effectively as
possible.
 
 
 
Meanwhile, an update...
 
Rix and I head to the Texas/Louisiana border tomorrow afternoon instead
of today. So we have one more day to collect items if anyone has
supplies to donate. My car is approaching full, but I also have a
subwoofer in the back that can come out to make more room if needed. So,
if you have supplies to donate then please conact myself, Rix, or if
you're closer to Steppes then Katheryn to arrange your drop-off. (My one
request is that dropoffs are not last minute.)
 
No idea on when I'll be back, as I may be sent further south by the Red
Cross to work on telecom repairs. If any replies are sent after our
departure, then they will be answered upon my return... whenever that
may be.
 
 
Regards,
Colete

Colete,

We donated 3 boxes of clothing, 2 blankets and 2 grocery bags of foord
to the American Red Cross directly. The American Red Cross was the
agency who most helped my father's recovery from the tornado which
destoyed Moore, Oklahoma in 2001. I personally received meals from their
"hot meal truck" while I shoveled debris for 2 weeks.

Thank you, Colette, for your efforts.Your offer to coordinate the giving
was very generous. Please do not feel that your efforts were not
appreciated- just raising the idea of donating to this cause may have
provided the spark that folks needed to get their extra items to the
donation bins.

Personal giving is a choice that has to be made by each family,
according to their ability to assist- and according to the particular
needs of the agencies. It's a tough time for folks- even those not hit
by the hurricane may be experiencing what they view as a disaster of
economics. It is my view that this personal decision should remain
private. 

I believe there will be much discussion of the management of this
particular relief effort in the news as efforts congeal. Perhaps the
discussions will lead to more coordination and faster response in the
future.


Lady Alexandra
