Carnival of Hurricane Relief, #68
This is the 68th Carnival of Hurricane Relief. The first was hosted by Glenn Reynolds at the urging of Hugh Hewitt with the support of N.Z. Bear in direct response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast. It also includes areas damaged by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma.
Thank you to over 20,600 visitors since November 9th to the special Christmas shopping edition of the Carnival of Hurricane relief (CoHR Xmas), featuring individuals and organizations from the Gulf Coast. Those who purchased an item on their Christimas shopping list from the Gulf Coast have helped those folks get back on their feet.
Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!
See the CoHR homepage for details.
Between them, N.Z. Bear and Glenn Reynolds have also launched PorkBusters, to push the effort to fund Katrina’s bill by cutting expenditures in the federal budget. Pull out your pig-stickers and check out N.Z.’s PorkBusters page!

Special Note: A Squidoo Lens has been created for CoHR.
A Squidoo Lens is a way to organize online information.
Three small payments have been made to
the Grameen Foundation USA
based on income derived from the CoHR Squidoo Lens.
However worthy in itself, the Grameen Foundation USA
is not a good fit for CoHR.
We would prefer to donate the income to a local charity working directly on Gulf Coast recovery.
We encourage Gulf Coast charities
to register with Squidoo
and let CoHR know.
