[Namron] Katrina Aid for Survivors-how you can help!

[Annais de Montgomerie]

Greetings all, 

Since it was decided for us that this subject would
not be discussed at last night's pop meeting, I
thought I would pass along some information for those
of you who would like to help the survivors of
Hurricane Katrina.

First off, Meridies is asking us to hold off on
donating money, cold hard cash, at this time. 
However, they are welcoming gift cards, gas cards and
the like.  Wal-mart and home improvement types being
specifically named.  For info on where exactly to send
gift cards go to http://www.ansteorra.org and click on
the link just under the header(it's in red, hard to
miss).

Secondly, we(some folks in Namron) are part of a
supply run leg.  We have a way to get much needed
immediate survival supplies from Namron to Little
Rock, AR.  Once in Arkansas, the supplies will be
shipped onward to those folks in Louisiana/Mississippi
who desperately need a clean pair of drawers,
deodorant, and a warm fuzzy blanket.

If you would like to help these people out, and
remember some of them are SCA family, please contact
me or Mistress Alix (ksullivan6 at cox.net).  

Mistress Alix has kindly volunteered to be a drop site
for the supplies. If you need directions, please
contact us.  (Just off I-35, Norman, easier to get to
than Big Red Sports and Imports!)

Meanwhile, here's a short list of things our
family(i.e. SCA and the human race) needs:
