Hurricane Katrina Relief Work

• Mission 4 - Christmas presents to children (newborn – 17 years old) of Louisiana/Mississippi (completed 12/10/05).

• Part 1 - Toys:
  Well, Georgia Contributors...you have done it again! We were able to deliver 400 new toys to the children of Slidell, Louisiana! The Slidell Women's Civic Organization received our gifts. They will meet specific needs within the schools and provide the rest to the local Toys-for-Tots event.
  
  In addition to toys, we had miscellaneous household items (lamps, Christmas decorations, clothes, etc.). They will be given to the area's women's shelter that lost their storage facility. Also, we delivered boxes of library books that will replace those destroyed by the storm.
  
  Part 2 - Coats:
  The Rotary Club of Effingham Sunrise donated over 200 coats to the people of Kiln, Mississippi. This is an overflow of Mission 3. The coats will be used for the "Christmas in the Kiln" event where Santa will visit to distribute toys, blankets and coats to area families.

• Part 3 - Donations:
  The patients and staff of Rincon Chiropractic (Rincon, GA.) has donated $1400 to aid in the hurricane relief efforts. The funds will be disbursed to the following distribution centers: Bayou Talla Fellowship Church (Kiln, MS.), Picayune Church of God (Picayune, MS.) and Grace Memorial Baptist Church (Slidell, LA.).

As I have said many times before, thank you for allowing me to be your hands and feet in this time of crisis. And remember...just because those struggling in Mississippi and Louisiana are not headline news anymore doesn't mean their needs are any less devastating.

Merry Christmas and God bless.

Serving the Survivors,
Kathy Ladner of the Rincon Relief Team
