from Sexto Sol...

The situation is getting desperate in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. For a limited time, Sexto Sol is donating profits from our online sales of our first album sold at CdBaby.com (http://cdbaby.com/cd/sextosol). Thanks in advance for your support of the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund.

from Steve of Alter Ego...

...who is also Public Relations Manager for the San Antonio Food Bank. As you know, Hurricane Katrina has devastated the Southeastern United States. Refugees from the storm are evacuating into Texas, as well as other states. We are looking forward to at least 25,000 evacuees coming into San Antonio over the next few days.

This storm damaged or closed ten sister Food Banks in the Gulf States. The San Antonio Food Bank, along with other members of America’s Second Harvest, is collecting food for them. The San Antonio Food Bank is sending food where it is needed most.Our Member Agencies (370+ emergency aid centers in Southwest Texas) are dealing with the influx of refugees needing food. Consequently, they are requesting additional food from the San Antonio Food Bank in order to meet this need. America’s Second Harvest is coordinating a major disaster relief effort, and the San Antonio Food Bank, along with others, is collecting food for the ten sister food banks damaged by Katrina.

You can help. Please support the San Antonio Food Bank’s disaster relief efforts either by giving on-line (http://www.safoodbank.org/hurricane_katrina_assistance.html) or mailing a check to San Antonio Food Bank, 4311 Director Drive, San Antonio, TX 78219-3203.

from Electric Ocean:

Hello to all our friends in South Texas. We will be volunteering for search and rescue missions in Louisiana and on the way back we will be traveling to Houston to adopt several families and provide them with shelter in our homes and help them find employment locally. I am sure there will be no place to live and no decent jobs for quite some time in the local areas affected.If you have a few days and want to be involved in Search and Rescue or just want to volunteer and help in any way possible then call these numbers in Baton Rouge LA. The volunteer people there are exhausted and desperate for help.
