    The people, who make New Orleans great, greatly need our help!

    So many of you have called Brennan's with offers of prayers, help and
    donations and we have truly been overwhelmed. The scope of the
    devastation is, well, devastating but we are busy about the task of
    helping many friends and family that have come and will continue to come
    to Houston.

    The cooks, servers and restaurant workers of New Orleans have provided
    fabulous times and memories for millions. Now we must remember them in
    their time of need. The Commander's Palace Family of Restaurants is
    spearheading a relief fund to benefit professionals in the hospitality
    industry who will be without jobs as New Orleans is rebuilt.

    Whether it's our dedicated employees, or those of our peers, we are
    particularly sensitive to the fact that these individuals - all of whom
    work long, hard hours and depend on their salary or tips to live - will
    have a tough road ahead these coming weeks or months.

    Our part of the country is known for taking hospitality very seriously,
    and it's right to do something to help these folks who are so devoted to
    the industry.

    This is where you can help!

    We will be hosting an all day event at

    Brennan's of Houston,
    3300 Smith Street,
    713-522-9711
    Friday, September 9, from 10 am until 8 pm

    To help raise funds and boost spirits!
    Stop by for hors d'oeuvres from devoted Houston Restaurants and a glass
    of wine with us and remember to invite your friends.

    All we are asking is for a minimum donation of $40 per person.

    100% of all donations will be directly distributed to the New Orleans
    Hospitality Workers Disaster Relief Fund. This fund will be coordinated
    by the Greater Houston Community Foundation, a well-established
    charitable organization.

    www.ghcf.org

    Any restaurant, business, or individual that would like to make a
    contribution can use the fund as a resource to send donations. Money
    will be distributed directly to those people most affected after
    qualifying by application.

    From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU from the Brennan Family for all
    of your love, caring and concern!

    You our valued friends are everything to us!!

    The Team at Brennan's of Houston

    P.S. I have printable PDF files about these events that you can use as
    fliers at your place of business. Please e-mail me direct & I will send
    them. [email hidden] thanks, Kat-

  2. My area of Texas is hosting some refugees, and I'm volunteering at the
    Waxahachie, Texas Salvation Army.

    For those who would like to contribute something, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
    LOCAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER BEFORE DROPPING ITEMS OFF!!!

    At our center, we've stopped accepting clothing, and are doing okay
    with toiletries. What we're asking for is basic household items to
    assist people who are being transitioned into their own homes, like can
    openers, silverware, dishes - practical things.

    The need will vary from distribution center to distribution center, so
    save yourself some disappointment by having your good intentions turned
    away. And increase the likelihood that your gifts will be immediately
    used and appreciated! Just give them a quick call before you go, and
    ask what they need.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Neil... if California ever finishes haggling with the Feds we
    may house some evacuees too (Bush only tolerates Ca because we are a
    big cash flow to his coffers and we have a Rep. Gov.), so we need to
    know what is most needed after cash.

  4. The children of those who are packed in together in schools, football
    grounds etc, whose parents have been immunised against disease
    themselves and not caught childhood diseases naturally, have not got
    their God given immunity by the natural course of things.

    Lots of prayers and laughter will be needed to keep them well because
    their immune systems will be down, as well as clothes, food and manual
    help.

    In Christ's love
    Carol T
