As We Prepare for the Expo, Katrina is on Our Minds

OK...things are happening so fast we are adding a blog to our website so that we can update you on the latest.

As you know we are consumed with Hurricane Katrina. The waves that knocked out an entire historical city generated larger waves of information that have drowned us all with information and has us paralyzed with fear and worry.

• How is my family?
• Could it happen to us?
• What can I do to help?

Helping is one way. Have an extra room? Bring a evacuated family or an individual (student?) into your home. Have some extra cash? Donate to any of the plethora of fundraisers that have dropped up. Harold Hambrick, our native Louisianan and President has family in all the places we have seen on the news this week. He set up the Black Business Expo/Katrina fund. We hope our businesses will support him because his daughter, sister, brothers and many family members are there.

If you have extra supplies on hand, please bring diapers and other personal supplies and give them to Greg Johnson for the KJLH Caravan of Love. The Details are posted on: http://www.expoupdate.com/Katrina.htm
