Katrina benefit

[JohnR]

I am looking for ideas on whether / how we as a group can raise funds for the victims of Katrina. If we did raffle/auctions of donated items or just a fundraising campaing. We have some people with extended family and dear freinds down there that we have not heard from as of yet. We also have the option of working to raise money for Red Cross specifically for the victims of the Hurricane.

So I am opening this for discussion to see what you folks feel. These people down there are our fellow citizens and many have lost everything.

Thanks,

john
