<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Colete,</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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. </P>
<P>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.<BR></P>
<P>Lady Alexandra</P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> I understand your frustration. I was born and raised in Florida so hurricane problems are very personal to me. On Tuesday, we donated money to the Salvation Army marked for relief from Katrina. I do not have clothes to donate because I have just made a large donation to another charity. However, there are many, many people who are collecting right now, so you should not feel like the people of Elfsea are ignoring this problem because they have not given anything to you. Some Elfsea people have no money so they are going to Dallas to help sort donated stuff and help personally. Maybe, you should have asked, “What are the people of Elfsea doing to help?” instead of assuming that we are doing nothing. Some may prefer to help privately, and that is their choice.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Perhaps Rixend's or Genna's efforts have produced more results from Elfsea. But as of today, only 2 people from Elfsea have contacted me directly with an offer of supply donations.... being our good Baron and the ever-giving Mistress Xene. The only donations delivered to me were from non SCA'ers.... being my children, grandmother, aunt, and a close neighborhood friend (<EM><I><FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">whom is currently campaigning for more goods from her church group</SPAN></FONT></I></EM>). They all know these items are to initially be delivered to SCA evacuees who've taken refuge in Louisiana & Mississippi... and still gave to our cause without hesitation.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Friends, PLEASE help. I'm sure many of you have donated to one cause or another already. But on my part of this supply collection, less than 1% response from such a large barony is shocking... and I know we all have things we don't use or wear that could be put to a better cause. This is an effort that has been coordinated by several kingdoms, and in Elfsea we are the largest collection point for Ansteorra. I'm going to personally travel with the items into Louisiana & Mississippi to the end-points to ensure their safe delivery... hopefully providing additional protection for Sarah, who'll be driving most of the trip. This is not a scam, but a perfectly legitimate crusade to help our friends in need. You're most welcome to keep tabs on the progress through this site.: <A
