I have not checked this out myself, but thought I would send it to the list in case any of you that are located in the eastern states could act more quickly than those of us here on the west coast. My concern is that even if we could round up some of these items they wouldn't get there in time to be of any use (since planes are flying limited service and mail and UPS may not get through). My prayers are with all of my fellow Americans that have been touched in one way or another by this tragedy!! And my THANKS to those abroad who have felt the pain as well.... God Bless You All... Janet Oregon >>> Sharen Bland 09/14/01 08:09AM >>> I received this through ColdFusion Users Group Managers correspondence - do we have any of these items staged for "surplus" that could be contributed? If so let me know and I'll contact the Greater New York Red Cross for an updated list.....
