>>Greetings Friends,
>>I finally arranged RYSEC's disaster relief program.
>>My great-aunt, Elsie Collier, was a well known principal in Mobile, Alabama.
>>The city honored her by naming a school after her - the Elsie Collier
>>Elementary.  At a family member's suggestion, I called the school and found
>>that they are in desperate need of school supplies, as the school has taken
>>in many new kids from schools that were destroyed.  The principal, Susan
>>McRay (who also knew Elsie and her life "friend"...wink...wink.. Floramary).
>>Ms. McRay was extremely excited to hear that there were people up north
>>willing to donate school supplies.  She also mentioned that they are
>>desperate for school uniforms.  Given our strong connection with education,
>>this might be meaningful for many of our members.
>>We are going to collect goods here at the Society and drive them down to
>>Mobile on Monday September 19th.  Here is a list of items that are being
>>requested:
>>K-5 school supplies--
>>   paper
>>   pencils (not the big ones, only the little)
>>   scissors
>>   markers
>>   backpacks
>>   erasers
>>   rulers
>>   writing pads
>>   ring binders
>>and the usual stuff like that.
>>Navy color pants
>>Navy shorts
>>Navy Jumpers
>>Navy skirts
>>Hunter Green or White shirts (Golf shirt with short sleeve and collar)
>>Underwear
>>Over the ankle - crew length socks
>>White, Navy or Black tennis shoes - lace up only
>>(khaki ok secondary)
>>I can pick these up at your Society (within reason) and can also make stops
>>in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and No. Virginia.....Randy, we may
>>even stop in North Carolina.
>>Anyone interested in participating, please let me know.
>>Thanks for allowing me my crazy passions,
>>Curt
