So...everyone contributing to the relief agency of your choice? I did...sent in my contribution to ELCA Disaster Relief, whose website you can access by reading my other Katrina blogs, and I also put some change in the kitty at our office Taco Day fundraiser; we have these periodically for our in-house charity, which usually helps needy families in our service area, but this time we decided to donate the proceeds to the Red Cross for hurricane relief. (This is a great fundraiser, by the way, if you have a large enough organization, and if everyone donates the food. Another good fundraiser is a silent auction, which we have about twice a year; we use a lot of office supplies, so we're constantly getting freebies from our office supply companies that we recycle into silent auction items, and employees also donate things on their own.)
Thanks, everyone, for helping out.

If you are a member of Thrivent they are matching funds for relief.
That's cool...I knew they'd pledged a million dollars toward relief, but the last time I logged on to their website they didn't have all their info updated.
