Thanks Doug!
Now you've gone and ruined the bad reputation he's spent years
perfecting on this NG.
Aren't you gonna thank Bobspit?

Doug,
We have received your generous donation to our Katrina
Rebuilding Fund, and
all we can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
I promise you that every penny will go directly to helping
school children
in a proud but devastated community in Mississippi. More than
60% of the
families in this community live at or below the poverty line,
and many have
lost everything, from clothes to books. Their school was
literally blown
away. They are now attending shared classes in a nearby school
(in shifts)
and will soon have FEMA trailers to use.
Our goal was to raise $25,000, and to purchase and deliver the
items most
needed as determined by the community. So far we are close to
half of that
goal. We've purchased classroom televisions, clothes, cafeteria
equipment,
books, stationery, and other AV equipment. Those things are now
loaded on a
trailer, and next Sunday I will be leaving PA with 5 other
volunteers and
driving/delivering the supplies that you've helped to buy.
Doug, your willingness to reach out, to give, and to have faith
in us, have
touched us all, and mostly me, in a very profound way. God
bless you!
Scout
