Title: To whomever is working relief in the South
Post by don on Sep 12^th, 2005, 1:44pm

I have approximately 50 backpacks filled with school supplies. The relief effort up here at Otis Air Base is sort of in limbo.

Suggestions for a donation?

Hey Don,

That is great of you! ;;D

I know that the schools here in Texas are opening their doors to students who have been affected by the hurricane. I would imagine that there must be someone around here that can give them to students...

Don,
I don't know about Edna or any of the rest, but I jsut talked to the Union Parish School board and they could use about 10 back packs or so. Lincoln Parish School board said they could use the rest. If you can get them down here to me, I will see that they get delivered. Check your pm for my addy and cell phone #.

I will check with some shippers to see ifd they will pick up the freight for packing and shipping to the school boards. They are each filled with school supplies so they are heavy.

Maybe not if you tell them what it is for, may ship for free or 1/2 price, check in to it!!! I know the post offices here are only charging us 1/4 of cost to ship over seas to the soldiers!! so maybe free!!!!
don't hurt to check into it!!
PFDAN to All !! Jolene
