Hurricane Katrina - On the Front Line - Working Parties in Slidell, LA
This weekend I'll be leading a working party from Houston into Slidell, LA. to help hurricane Katrina victims. We'll most likely be doing some disaster recovery and clean up work in homes that have been affected by the hurricane.
I'll make sure to take a lot photos. By the way, if any able-bodied men here in Houston would like to go with us, just send me an email and I'll send you the details. We'll be leaving this Friday evening and returning on Sunday evening.

Only 30 minutes from New Orleans, Slidell, on the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, was home to about 25,000 people a week ago. Today, it is trying to recover after a week of baren silence.
Here are some photos from Slidell taken this past week.
Please help these vicitims in your own special way.

David,
I have followed you and your marketing from afar... while I have bought a couple of things ;-) But now I want to thank you for your work in and around the Hurricane relief efforts. Reading your post has made it even more "real" to me and I'm sure many of your other followers. We are doing what little we can do here in North Alabama with the few evacuees we have but each person is as important as the next.
Thanks for making a difference in so many areas of your life!
Ann
