Dear Smarties: 

No doubt all of  you are aware of the devastation caused by the hurricane that hit the eastern seaboard last night. The news is not good:  millions without power, 16 confirmed dead, neighborhoods on fire, most of the the Jersey Shore under water, NYC subway system flooded, and the southern tip of Manhattan cut off to first-responders.

As your VP of Services, I'd like to encourage all of you to help. Food, clothing, and medicine are what's needed. The Red Cross is suggesting a donation of $10 to facilitate their efforts to direct these resources where they are needed most. Let's keep it simple. If you've GOT it, please GIVE it.

To help those affected by Hurricane Sandy donate through the Red Cross website or call (800) 733-2767. You can also text the word ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red Cross chapter or the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

Update: We raised $41 at our meeting yesterday for the Sandy Relief !  Way to go Smarties.  I will be collecting donations through the end of the month before we send a check to the RED CROSS.  Gilbert says our club goal is $100.  

Thank you.

Best,

Marvin Morris
Vice President of Services, PTK
