Hurricane Katrina Relief Volunteers

[athelind]

Just to emphasize my previous post about Bay Area Red Cross efforts:

If you are interested in being deployed immediately to the Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief operation, please call 408-577-2063 immediately to sign up. More 2-day Disaster Mini-Institute boot camps will be scheduled if there is interest from our community.

(from American Red Cross - Santa Clara Valley)

(I'll be calling later today.)

Update: I called (after numerous busy signals) and volunteered. I'm signed up for their next regular volunteer training session. That's not until the 14th, unfortunately, but I've decided to make this a long-term commitment. And, again, they might have more of the Immediate Response Boot Camps if there are enough volunteers.

i can't do volunteer type stuff so i threw money (but my company matches funds so it's all good)

I have no money, but I have experience, training, and a warm body.

Good on you, Dragon. Your cold won't last forever, but they'll need help for months.
