Earl, We Are Out Of Town Until Monday Afternoon, If You Want To Call Me Later Monday Evening And Lets See Where We Are With This, A Good Plan Is Better Than Quick Decisions, If We Can Get Intouch With Ray And Find Out The Most Important Needs And I Mean Dire Needs Then We Could Load My Trailer And Take It To Them....fan2488 Is There Anything We Could Do For You Now? Taking Care Of That Many Is Admiralble But Some What Taxing On The Resources...keep In Touch. Wayne

 

Our 5 offices are having a fundraiser over the next 3 days in
conjunction with a local church organization. We are volunteering to collect
cash, clothes, can good, water, cleaning and toiletry supplies to be shipped
out Mon. or Tues. I am not sure where it will end up. I would suspect that
it will be distributed by other churches or the Red Cross.

just let me know when and where to get cash too.. it would be nice to make sure that they do get it though!

 

I could create a paypal "donate" account if this would help?
People could send cash, check, or donate on the paypal thing.
Just donate it to the paypal account created, then we can transfer it to whoever

 

If anyone hears from Ray, I'll be happy to help, but I got hit a pretty good whack too, I'm not in the position to send money.

I can offer help with cars n such, storage, whatever. I'm about 150 miles north of him.

 

we are doing fine. just working longer hours.there is people that need help alot more than we do. thank you for the offer.it does get a little crazy at times.

 

Wayne; tried to get in touch with Ray, but the phone circuits are constantly busy, which is understandable. I will keep trying, and I will keep the boards updated with the Club and what they are doing. I just want to say that the folks on this board are the finest anywhere, and your generousity and compassion is inspiring. I know we will be very proud of what we are doing.
Take care,

Earl

 

This is great!
Just let me know where I need to send money.
Its things like this that remind what this board is all about....I was getting a little unsure over the last week or so, but this is WHAT WE ARE ABOUT!!!!
people helping people!

 

I'm in...just say the word.

 

In my area we have a group that goes by "Gods Pit Crew" . They hold car shows and fund raisers and such often . Anytime we have a disaster such as this thy take up local donations of the neccesities and deliver them to the people affected. This is what they are looking for right now around here. We are fixing our bucket up right now to give to them. Seems that America is stepping up and doing what needs to be done.Whatever the club decides to do to help then Im in for it. Heres what "Gods Pit Crew " is doing to help. Can you imaginine what this bucket of stuff will mean to someone who has lost everything.

Sitting here in Washington DC it seems so far away. I was wondering how I might be able to help. It's a great feeling knowing I am a part of a community like this. I would be more than happy to make a donation -- just need the address or paypal info

Best Wishes to all those that were directly affected (and the rest of you too!!)
Better times are on the way

Can someone start a poll of what Mav/Comet owners have donated? I think it would be cool to be able to say "My friend and I donated $XXX to Katrina survirors.

I live 45 mins from the Astrodome, and my wife and I cleaned out our attic and closets and headed out there Saturday. Well over $500 worth of sheets, blankets, clothes and shoes, and about 60 new Oral-B toothbrushes. Left a large beer cooler (empty of course) and some luggage. Basically anything we could have sold at a garage sale went into the Dome.

It was really amazing how many people are just standing around looking for somthing to do. I think they estimate 20,000 just in the Dome and the Reliant center alone... I would offer living space, but I live in a small and quiant home out in the boonies...
