What are YOU doing for the victims of Katrina?


We all need to do our part. I thought posting what WE are doing might prompt
others in doing their par.

I am giving money to the Red Cross.

I will send clothes if thats a viable thing to do.

I know cash always works.




I'm not doing anything at the moment because I'm stuck out-of-town to
attend a funeral. When I get back home next week I'm gonna figure out
the most tax efficient way to make a large contribution to the Southern
Baptist's North American Missions Board. (I'll probably donate a bunch
of appreciated stock so I can write off the whole amount without paying
capital gains tax first)

NAMB sends 100% of contributions to aid disaster victims (I believe they
pay their overhead costs from the SB's general fund), and they
coordinate their efforts with the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.


P.S. Chaz, donate the clothes locally. Local relief agencies are gonna
be hurting as hurricane and tsunami relief suck up a lot of the
available charity resources.
