Dear Smarties:
No doubt all of you are aware of
the devastation caused by the hurricane that hit the eastern seaboard
last night. The news is not good: millions without power, 16 confirmed
dead, neighborhoods on fire, most of the the Jersey Shore under water,
NYC subway system flooded, and the southern tip of Manhattan cut off to
first-responders.
As your VP of Services, I'd
like to encourage all of you to help. Food, clothing, and medicine are
what's needed. The Red Cross is suggesting a donation of $10 to
facilitate their efforts to direct these resources where they are needed
most. Let's keep it simple. If you've GOT it, please GIVE it.
To help those affected by Hurricane Sandy donate through the Red Cross website or
call (800) 733-2767. You can also text the word ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to
make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red
Cross chapter or the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC
20013.
Update: We raised $41 at our meeting yesterday for the Sandy Relief ! Way to go Smarties. I will be collecting donations through the end of the month before we send a check to the RED CROSS. Gilbert says our club goal is $100.
Thank you.
Best,
Marvin Morris
