Hurricane Katrina
TechTV Forever run by Eric Craft (and his team) and Long Live TechTV, run by Chris (densefive) and Mark (mrwebauthor) are banding together to try to get people to donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund http://www.redcross.org by posting banners and links at their group homepages and drawing attention to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on their message boards.
At LLTTV they have a podcast called 535 York and which they record on Thursday nights about 10pm EST. Please join in Thursday in a moment of silence at the beginning of our podcast. The moment of silence will run from 10pm EST til 10:01pm EST to remember those that lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina. If you can not make the podcast please still observe a moment of silence. We are going to try to make this a continent wide moment of silence. So please spread the word.

Please join the nation this thursday in a moment of silence at 10:00pm
EST till 10:01pm EST to remember everyone that lost their lives in
Hurricane Katrina. And please spread the word. Lets make this a
national/continent wide moment of silence if not world wide.
And visit the Red Cross website
http://www.redcross.org/index.html
Donate to the Red Cross donate info
http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html
I encourage all to visit this site
http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html and see the many ways that
you can make a donation to the American Red Cross. This organization
will take the lead in assisting those in need from Hurricane Katrina.
Thier efforts will be needed for months, if not longer.
On the webpage, you will find the links where you can donate on line,
by phone, or ways to donate your spare change or your airline miles.
The American Red Cross is a most worthy organization, and I encourage
you to consider supporting them financially while they assist
Hurricane Katrina victims.
The south has seen ‘Hell on Earth’. New Orleans is our 36th biggest
city and evacuation of the whole city is on going. “Officials said it
will be three to four months before residents can return to New
Orleans, and those still in the city will have to leave, after levees
broke and waters inundated more than 80 percent of the city in the
wake of Hurricane Katrina.” They need our help! They will not have
power/water for months. And the other towns that were totally
washed/blown away. Need our Help!
And please donate blood, 1 unit of your blood can save up to 3 people.
Please give the gift of life.
Thank you,
Chris

Hurricane Housing.org is a project started by the political activist group MoveOn.org in an attempt to match up people who have spare rooms and beds with people who are looking for temporary aid or shelter. Please, especially if you’re within 300 miles of the affected region, sign up and offer a bed or a room to help these people begin to put their lives back together:
