This is what we can do

#1 Postby Downdraft » Fri Sep 02, 2005 2:14 pm

Give a buck two bucks twenty bucks whatever you can afford the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Church groups whatever this is just a federal problem it's our problem.

Blood It's desperately needed now. Give a pint save a life!

Conserve I'd rather see the 20 gallons of gas I would have used this weekend go into an ambulance in New Orleans. Conserve this weekend like you never have before.

Adopt Adopt a family, adopt a shelter, adopt a school help out our fellow Texans that are opening their hearts in ways we only are beginning to think about.

Perserve This effort has only begun. It will go weeks, months, maybe years, write your congressman tell him what's been done so far is not nearly enough.

Stay Involved This could be Houston, Miami, Charleston, Baltimore, New York or Boston.

Wonderful advice. Stay at home this weekend. I wonder how much gas would be saved.

Excellent post! I also thought I'd pass along some information I just got to any of you members that are in the Pensacola area. I just got an email from my church telling me that the Red Cross is in desperate need of volunteers to help at the old Molino Elementary School. The evacuees are being transferred from the Civic Center to this school. According to the email I received you can just show up and tell them you want to help, or if you want more info call the local Red Cross office.

Wish I could, but that's outside my means at the moment.

Excellent suggestions, all.
