reaching out in the wake of Hurrican Katrina

M

MarkLaRoi

I'd just like to hear some stories of good things in light of how much evil is dominating the headlines. We (Salem) have been fund-raising and I'm blessed to see how Pittsburgh and our whole coverage area is responding. What other companies are reaching out? <P ID="signature">______________

Salem Milwaukee here, we've got spots running with an ask for Feed the Children running on both stations, and I've got a long-form program that will be running on the Word twice this weekend. I don't know what else is in the works, but I know all of us are praying for the folks down on the Gulf Coast, and doing what we can.

Also, there are posts going on the Louisiana and Mississippi boards here on RI, from folks around the country sending thoughts, prayers, well wishes, etc. Check out those boards if you'd like to join in.

As far as other companies joining in, I believe Wal-Mart/Sam's Club have teamed up with The Salvation Army to collect funds for the hurricane relief effort. According to their Website they are not accepting gifts in kind at this time, but they are seeking volunteers in a variety of areas.<P ID="signature">______________

Greetings from Ohio-where the governor wants everyone to know he's sorry.</P>
 
We're nearing $100,000 raised for "Feed the Children" and I am so blessed to see the outpouring across ethnic and political lines! <P ID="signature">______________

I don't know what we've hit locally but I'd be interested to find out. I don't imagine we'll have any numbers until we get back from the long weekend.<P ID="signature">______________
