--- Begin Message ---Dear Greenway Friends: As you are aware, the recent floods of the Czech Republic have been devastating. Daniel Morek, with Friends of Czech Greenways, recently sent out an urgent appeal to provide financial assistance to help restore the environment, historic monuments and damaged elements of the existing greenway system. Currently, an assessment of damage is being prepared and will be made available for public review. I have made contact with the Friends of Czech Greenways in Brooklyn, NY, a 501c3, and have arranged for the establishment of a special fund inside their organization that will accept financial contributions from Greenway advocates in the United States for this restoration effort. I am hoping that you will be able to join me in making a contribution, in what ever amount you feel comfortable with, to help our greenway friends in the Czech Republic. Contributions can be made directly to "Friends of Czech Greenways", earmarked for the "Greenways Flood Fund." Your contribution is tax deductible. You can mail your contributions to Friends of Czech Greenways, 515 Avenue I, Suite 1B, Brooklyn, NY,11230-2632. Ms. Halsey, at the Friends of Czech Greenways in Brooklyn, will keep track of all contributions that are made to this fund. She will be happy to share this list with anyone upon request. Also, a list is being compiled that will denote how the money will be used and what projects will benefit from this and other funding sources. I have been part of three devastating flood relief efforts in Louisville, KY, Grand Forks, ND and Eastern North Carolina. I know that this effort on the part of Greenway advocates in the United States will be greatly appreciated. I hope that each of you will act quickly and send a contribution at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Chuck Flink, ASLA President Greenways Incorporated--- End Message ---
