[Elfsea] Re: Katrina Relief

[Gerita/Carolle Cox]

I don't live in Elfsea, so it's ok if you just hit 'delete'.  Many of my
friends are there, however, and some of them have weighed in on this
issue.  As someone who loves those of Elfsea, I say
 
Don't do this to yourselves.
 
Not everyone can come up with donations of any kind on short notice.
Not everyone has extra stuff in their closets (btw, Dallas has a severe
shortage of "plus-size" clothing).  If every person does what he or she
can, however large or small that is, then the need will be met.  We're
in for months and months of rebuilding/relocating and clean-up.  We'll
have most of these poor tormented evacuees with us the entire time.
There's plenty of time to pitch in. Those that can right now, I bless
every donation of time, money, and stuff and the givers - and I know the
blessings will come back from the shelters, too.  Those that stand ready
for the rebuilding effort, my heart is with you.  
 
Just stand together, folks, as Elfsea is known for throughout the
kingdom.  Guilt-trips, fussing, and argu - ahem, debating, will only sap
your enthusiasm. Just Be Elfsea.  That's enough.
 
warmly, 
Gerita

I was thinking of how to say this, as my diplomacy levels tend to be on
the level of 
"Scream..... Charge" 
 
My donations have already been placed in the hands of the Salvation
Army. Anything else that I may have been able to do in the past cannot
be done due to financial responsibilities and economic downturns. 
 
I hope that Elfsea has a good ride on this guilt trip.

Friends, I don't know how to say this delicately, without sounding harsh
or criticizing. Believe me, I'm trying. But straight to the point of
this message, I'm fairly disappointed in the lack of response I've
received from a barony so reputed for it's giving, helpful nature.
