I would love to go! Was thinking of going with the red cross, but there's a few... issues... about that.

I got in touch with the Burners who were on their way down last week, and they said their may be Burners from the Bay going down soon...

Let's do it!

Dear Fellow Burners -

I've been asked by members of the BM staff to collect as much info on Katrina-related Burner activities nationwide (or even international) as possible.

I've set up a Yahoo Group for this purpose.
groups.yahoo.com/group/BM_Katrina

The goal is to widen the communication nationwide among Burners, so we can continue to mobilize the best response.

The Burning Man "Temple to Temple" crew in Biloxi continue to need your help in helping others!

Matt Lindsay (a heavy equipment wrangler for David Best's Temple crew since 2000) and friends are in Biloxi, MS with several tons of heavy equipment and nine generators.

They have set up shop in the leveled Chau Van Duc Buddhist Temple in east Biloxi, as well as having established a 24-hour free supermarket in a 44-foot dome donated by Pacific Domes www.pacificdomes.com, in an effort to aid the neglected Vietnamese community still living there.

CURRENT NEEDS:

*WORKERS! to come help CLEAR DEBRIS and to help get the community back together.
*MONEY for GAS to run their GENERATORS, and buy more DOMES to house people in!

For more information, contact Shelly Lindsay at 541-482-7288.

You can also contact the Burning Man Staff directly at katrina-relief@burningman.com

There is also a mailing list which will provide periodic updates...

Please try and spread the word to other Burners.


Sincerely,
