Blogging Across America

Tomorrow, bloggers across America will unite for Hurricane Katrina Blog Relief Day to raise awareness (and hopefully millions of dollars) for all of the wonderful charities helping the victims of this devasting hurricane.
I, personally, have chosen the American Red Cross. I was a disaster services volunteer back in the early 80’s, and I know first hand just what the Red Cross is capable of doing for these victims, if they have the funds to do so.
While I have chosen the Red Cross as the charity I would like to raise funds for, I am also including some other fine charities in my sidebar. Please remember, when deciding to make a donation to any organization, to make sure you do so only through their official website.
Many, many, bloggers are providing updates and local information about the hurricane’s aftermath. Throughout the day tomorrow I will highlight some of them, in an effort to help raise awareness, and money, for this cause.
No amount is too small. You would really be surprised how quickly $1 donations add up. Seriously.
Do me a favor tomorrow. Skip lunch and send the money you would have spent on it to one of the charities on my list. Better yet, don’t do it for me, do it for these people:

The GIFT of life is a preciou The GIFT of life is a precious thing–do it for LIFE!! This is a wonderful idea and the Red Cross is probably the best choice–thanks for the recommendation–if you have a chance read Brian’s Predictions.com (under his caption DANGER ZONE)–this may be happening in another part of the country soon (G_D forbid!!) and what if it was where you were living–think about it!! Have a wonderful day on 9/1/05–hurricanes can do more damage than any terrorist can ever dream of doing–the world would be a better place if we all chipped in!! We are the world!
