>"I know that you are all aware of the aftermath of Katrina.
>Gleann Abhann was suppose to have it's first coronation and become
>a
>kingdom in October and the site is now gone (Gulf Port area). The
>site for Gulf Wars is also underwater.

>Our kingdom seneschal (Northshield) is in contact with the
>seneschal of Meridies and the soon to be kingdom of Gleann Abhann,
>as are many other seneschals. There isn't a lot that we can do
>today
>because they need to get power and communications up and a whole
>lot
>of rescuing.

>I keep remembering how nice it was when the Gleann Abhan royalty
>stood out in the cold handing out fresh donuts and hot coffee to
>us
>as we waited to get into Gulf Wars this past year. They were so
>full of smiles and treated ALL of us as if WE were the royalty!

>There is a new yahoo group that is trying to coordinate efforts to
>help and I have the link listed below. Some of the discussions on
>other lists involve "adopting" a group and helping them replace
>items like garb, armor, feast gear, etc. These aren't items that
>the Red Cross will replace and we all know how much time and money
>we have put in OUR SCA gear.

>http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/SCA-911
>
>It's a new group so you may not find it on a yahoo groups search
>yet.
>
>For those of use who don't have allot of money, making SCA items
>to help replace what was lost is a good way to help our fellow
>SCAdians.
>
>Please cross post this to other lists. A large coordinated effort
>might get more done."
