We've got a number of things going on here in Georgia. Just to name a few...
My office is collecting donations for the Red Cross in honor of one of my co-workers' nieces who was killed on the United Airlines flight that hit the World Trade Center. The company will match whatever the employees contribute.
A local bar that we visited on Friday night was collecting money at the door for the Red Cross.
Kroger (grocery store chain) is taking donations for the victims' families in New York and Washington, D.C.
Also, tonight my alumnae chapter is having our annual alumnae dinner. One of my Delta Zeta sisters was a flight attendant on the United Airlines flight, so I'm sure we'll be doing some type of memorial service for her and taking up donations in her memory for the relief fund.
They've told us to hold off making blood donations until later in the week, so I'm planning to give blood in addition to money.
My prayers go out to everyone affected by the atrocious acts of last Tuesday. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
