is establishing two permanent rescue centers in the area…so think about supporting them…

To send her writing to a theatre group in New England that’s doing a project called “Letters to Katrina.”

If anyone’s interested in submitting, the deadline is tomorrow…they are interested in all kinds of different points of view, both people who went through it firsthand, and people who didn’t. Post below, and I’ll send you the info.

to Best Friends, one of the animal rescue groups that worked in the area…and still is. Big plus: I met one of the adorable dogs our local shelter accepted from New Orleans—Kai, a lovely almost-grown puppy, who seemed hungry and happy and thrilled to be in Hoboken, NJ. Hey, New Jerseyites, want to adopt a New Orleans pup? Contact Liberty Humane Society: www.lhs.org

which is this great AIDs activist organization dedicated to housing homeless AIDS patients is also collecting for Katrina. They have a great bookstore with a delicious cafe…so I’m dropping by there today with stuff.

(If you’re in NYC, stop by…they’re in NoHo, on Crosby Street.)

The folks at Porto Rico coffee are donating a dollar to Katrina relief for every pound of New Orleans blend purchased. I know it’s a small thing, but if you like coffee…it’s very tasty. They deliver very quickly. And they’re nice!
