Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church I am forwarding the information below for your awareness. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end -----Original Message----- From: Tina R Schrag [mailto:TinaSchrag@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 11:13 AM Cc: nt@xxxxxxx; Jude Krehbiel; Elizabeth Raid; Dave R Gerber; nrivera@xxxxxxx Subject: bulletin announcement and flyer Dear Church Secretaries: MCC is seeking your help in getting word out about the flooding in South Asia. Below is a bulletin announcement that we ask you print in your bulletins Sept. 2, 9, and 16. __________________________________________________ Floods are affecting millions of people in Bangladesh, Nepal and India, destroying homes and crops and claiming hundreds of lives. MCC is responding with $250,000 in aid for people harmed by the flooding. However, MCC needs an additional $129,000 to help farmers and communities recover and mitigate future floods. Your contributions are needed now. Contributions should be designated "South Asia Flood Response" and can be made at any MCC office or online at mcc.org/donate. __________________________________________________ Attached is a PDF flyer that you can print and display on a bulletin board(s). Please feel free to make mention of the flyer in the bulletin announcement if you'd like to add a statement about where it is posted in the church. If you are unable to open my attachment you can also follow this link http://mcc.org/southasiaflooding/ and select Central States. If you have any questions, please call our office.
