ANNOUNCING THE LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH "KATRINA" RELIEF FUND
The League of the South will undertake a relief fund for our members who were victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Our first order of business has been to contact our members in south Alabama, south Mississippi, and southeast Louisiana who were in the storm's path. Thus far, we are happy to note that most of our members in Mobile and the surrounding areas of southwest Alabama have reported in safely with little major property damage. However, because of our inability to contact LS members in Mississippi and Louisiana, we have no idea about their status or specific needs. I can report, however, that Ron Kennedy and his family, who live in Mandeville (north of NO on the lake front), are safe in north Louisiana. Dr. and Mrs. Milburn Calhoun, owners of Pelican Publishers of Gretna, are also there and safe as well.
Once we're able to confirm the status of our members from these areas, we will assess their needs, and then use the funds we've collected to provide for those needs. Because of the widespread destruction it is likely that the recovery period will stretch over many months.
The LS Katrina Relief Fund will be administered by the LS Board of Directors. Funds will not be distributed until we can confirm the exact needs of our members and until we can actually deliver the goods. Obviously, some of our less well-off members will be placed at the top of the list for assistance. Any funds collected that are not used for this particular emergency will be sequestered in a separate account to be used for future emergency events.
If you would like to help us help our own people, please send your non-tax-deductible donation, marked "Katrina Relief Fund" and made payable to the League, to LS, PO Box 760, Killen, Alabama 35645, or send it through PayPal below. May God bless you and may He relieve the suffering of our people.
On behalf of the LS Board of Directors,
Michael Hill President, The League of the South
BTW - I would hope that the League would expand their efforts to include our kinfolk in general, this would be a great recruiting tool. But I also would understand if they had to limit their help to members, after all, membership would have it's benefits.
