Things are so sad there, you can bet anything done to help the people affected by hurricane Kartina will be appreciated. And don't forget to ask or remind your company, like I just did, if they would support matching donations and make a corporate contribution (happily they just approved both).

Im In but just coming up with ideas is taking alot of time. Its a great Idea but if there are people that we can help now by sending them what we can its a start....We see the plight of those that stayed to ride the storm out on the TV every day, but there are juat as many if not more that left the coast and have no place to go back to. These people may be in areas that we may be able to get items to....
Bass Babe - Is there a way to send a care package to your Sister and the others. What can they use NOW... Food - Clothes - Shoes - Phone cards etc. Are there others in that area that are taking in people that were effected. If so what could they use and the best way to get items to them...
Not trying to Jack this thread but if we can do both lets do both...care packets fo those that we CAN get items to and a fund raiser for the Red Cross...

I think we work out the details this weekend, start the benefit and after 1 week, give what we have and say run a total of two weeks and give the rest at the end of two weeks. A split of some to a national org (RC or Salvation Army - I have heard that SA is more efficient than RC) and some to members of OUR S-B family - we have three families afffected that I am aware of, two found and one we are waiting to here from. A tourney would be nice but that would take too long and in a few weeks there will be a benefit tournament for a local soldier lost in Iraq - not a S-B tourney but a RI tourney that I want to assist on a bit.

This has nothing to do with this thread and the fact that people here want to do something to help,
but I just can't help to think that,
Some of the most creative minds in this country are busy at this minute coming up with scams to swindle people out of money while making them think it's going to help down there!!!
Thats the American way!!!

I throw in two sets of canal ball jigs.
each of the 2 sets has 6 ------2 OZ , 6 ----3OZ and 6 ----4 OZ ball jigs.
Not much but I will be giving most of my $ donation to the Katrina relief through work where it will get doubles.
