A great time was had by all at the Katrina send-off party on February 28th. Make no mistake about it -- there may be only 40 of us going to New Orleans, but this is a school-wide project! Colleagues stopped by all afternoon to wish us well and share in the experience. Everyone from the Dean to faculty, staff and students have contributed generously of their time, money and support. We will be able to donate at least $1,000 to the St. Bernard Parish re-building project, where a group of us will be working on Friday. For everyone who has made this trip possible, a heartfelt thanks!

I also would like to add a heartfelt thanks to all of the people that made this trip possible. The hotel was fantastic, the trip was well planned, and we not only had a great opportunity to help people, we also had the opportunity to see for ourselves the devestation of the hurricane. Most of all however, I wanted to thank the people of New Orleans because despite continuing difficulties rebuilding thier home, they were more than gracious in accomodating us while we were there, and I noticed that there was stil hope in existence in the face of utter destruction. I admire their strength and was inspired by thier determination.
