[J22-Fleet 1]Reminder and news from New Orleans

[Angela Johnson]

Hi, everyone,
Just a quick reminder to bring items to donate to New Orleans refugees and relief workers to the club Sat. morning before Districts.
 
We are all hearing stories of how red tape have slowed down some relief efforts.  That's why I think my fearless sailing pals who just introduced themselves to one of the commanding officers, started administering first aid, continue to pull people out of homes and office buildings and continue to hand out donated items directly to victims are so amazing.  
Linda has depleted the 3 semi trucks she originally filled so what I'm gathering is going into the next round.  A reminder of items need is pasted below.
 
Her baby girl made the news.  Here's a link to the story:

Thank you to all who have responded to my email and have been willing to help out!
