[MR] Katrina Relief: Current Status

[Katharine Devereaux]

Greetings,

Due to overwhelming generosity - the collection places in Meridies have asked that we stop sending goods until they can distribute more of what they have. This ONLY applies to Clothing and Care Packages - First aid/hygiene.

THEY STILL NEED GIFT CARDS/MONEY to purchase additional supplies from places such as Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart/Sams Club. These supplies include Cleaning supplies, garbage bags, tools, repair equipment, etc., to help clean and begin the rebuilding process.

We are also still collecting items to meet SCA needs, although this will be held onto until those in Glenn Abhann are ready to receive it.

http://www.brotherguido.com/blackmoor/Photos.htm is an example of how Katrina has affected one SCA family and some of the damage done.

Gift Cards may be sent to:
Travis Newberry
3466 Old Suttons Way
Marietta, GA 30062 
phone: 770-971-9490

Money may be sent to:
"Medieval Disaster Relief"
Sara Nichols
175 Lucile Lane
Lilburn, GA 30047
http://www.maxandlethrenn.org/hurricane_relief/ (at the bottom) lists those (over $100) who have donated to this cause.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks again for your generosity!

In Service,

Katharine
