This is the organization Ed was talking about at the Tower Theater a few nights ago. It seems like a good cause, so go make a Paypal donation...even a few dollars will help. Check it out!

That is not the same organization Ed spoke of, but it looks to be another of the same type.
I had a conversation with a woman from Florida over the weekend who has business dealings in New Orleans, and she raised my concern with her strong sentiments that things are FAR from "back to normal" down there, and the people are getting no assistance from the GOVT. I am curious if anyone knows of a GOOD foundation that is making significant strides to help the people down there? I can Google search for this myself, but if anyone knows of something, please let me know. Thanks!
I tried the link up top, but it's not working. Though it's all support for the Yellow Ribbon.

WASHINGTON — A massive effort to fix public works destroyed more than three years ago by the Gulf Coast hurricanes remains largely stalled, leaving more than $3.9 billion in federal aid unspent and key repairs far from complete.
The scale of that job is enormous. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has promised $5.8 billion to repair everything from flooded libraries and schools to sewer systems and roads that were ruined when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita obliterated huge sections of coastal Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005.
Nearly 3½ years after those storms hit, new FEMA accounting reports show two-thirds of the money to pay for permanent rebuilding work still has not been spent, the latest bottleneck in a recovery long beset by criticism that it has been too slow and inefficient. And despite a handful of high-profile successes, officials who had vowed to speed up the pace of repairs concede it is still going far more slowly than it should.
"I think it can go better. That's almost obvious," says James Stark, who runs FEMA's recovery effort in the region. "Public safety, health and education are critical. That's not proceeding as quickly as I think many people in southeast Louisiana would want." Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has ordered the agency to take a "fresh look" at those roadblocks. Its first report is due Tuesday.
Thanks for the head's up Ralph and D. I just emailed the YRC webmaster and hope he figures it out. I was with the YRC last night for an honoring of the troops before my hometown's fireworks and it was a humbling and tearful experience. I got goosebumps going up to various soldiers and thanking them and their families for the sacrifices they are making day in and day out. It was awesome seeing their families together, walking around enjoying freedom that so many of us do daily and take for granted.
