Carnival of Hurricane Relief, #71

Filed under:Communities — posted by cehwiedel on January 18, 2007 @ 10:40 am

This is the 71st 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.

Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!

See the CoHR homepage for details.

Special Note: A Squidoo Lens has been created for CoHR.

A Squidoo Lens is a way to organize online information.

Four 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.

Do you find news here worth reading? Do you agree (or disagree) with my slant on that news? Buy me a cup of coffee! My recipe for a daily cup: 8 ounces of 2% milk, 2 shots of espresso, 4 shakes of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a topping of light whipped cream. Drop a tip in my jar — whatever amount you want, whatever amount you think I've earned.
