<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, Rixend and I will be making the delivery to
Sarah... possibly traveling into Louisiana ourselves as well. We plan to leave
the afternoon of September 8th to meet in Tyler, TX and the goods are
in-turn scheduled to be delivered to those in need on the 9th. So please,
if you have any donations, get them to Katheryn, Rixend, or myself before
Sept. 8th.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Money is always the best donation, when sent to
reputable emergency services such as the American Red Cross. (Link to
multiple charity organizations taking
donations: <STRONG>http://tinyurl.com/82cjh</STRONG> ). Alas, like myself
not everyone can afford to assist monitarily, but do have supplies
on-hand. We'll take what you can spare, as long as it's usable and
needed.</FONT></DIV>
