Hi Lew I know the local stores are under water and everything is most likely unusable, but one of the TV stations here said that money would be needed as much as the goods and would help some of the survivors to get out of the area and go to more distant places that are safer ... and less temporary. I know they need everything and they need it "day before yesterday". I was just throwing out another idea... It might be easier for the clubs to collect money and individuals to send goods.
