[MR] Katrina Relief: Updates and upcoming collections

[Katharine Devereaux]

Greetings,

Much has happened since my last update. Another hurricane has hit another Kingdom - Ansteorra this time and much of the relief effort is now being spread amongst the two impacted areas.

The Meridies organizers are using current stockpiles to supply those that are in need and are still collecting gift cards and monetary donation for immediate impact.
