Katrina and Rita Relief FundsSCV Disaster Relief Fund InformationGentlemen, SCV Relief Fund The SCV Relief Fund provides short term stipends to meet members needs when situations arise that impact member needs regarding food, shelter, medication or medical supplies. We must help our brothers. Members must make their needs known. Contact may be made through IHQ or any of the following committee members:
Douglas D. Dawson --Chairman
Jack A Bridwell Ph. D. LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH "KATRINA" RELIEF FUNDThe League of the South will undertake a relief fund for our members who were victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Our first order of business has been to contact our members in
south Alabama, south Mississippi, and southeast Louisiana who were
in the storm's path. Thus far, we are happy to note that most of
our members in Mobile and the surrounding areas of southwest
Alabama have reported in safely with little major property damage.
However, because of our inability to contact LS members in
Mississippi and Louisiana, we have no idea about their status or
specific needs. I can report, however, that Ron Kennedy and his
family, who live in Mandeville (north of NO on the lake front),
are safe in north Louisiana. Dr. and Mrs. Milburn Calhoun, owners
of Pelican Publishers of Gretna, are also there and safe as well.

May God
bless you and may He relieve the suffering of our people. BEAUVOIR RELIEF FUNDGentlemen:
Pursuant to directions from Commander General Daniel Jones, the
MOSB is formally announcing the process and procedure for the
BEAUVOIR RELIEF FUND. Cmdr. Jones has asked
Army of Tennessee Commander Phillip Law to coordinate this relief
effort. I have spoken with Rick Forte, President of the Beauvoir
board this morning. Rick said some looting has occurred, and
graphically described the destruction in and around the grounds.
Currently there are several folks onsite, but the temperature is
stifling, and there is no electricity, water, etc.. All local
stores on the beachfront are totally destroyed.
Commander Law, who resides in nearby Mobile, Alabama, will
serve as the local coordinator of donations and the relief
effort. At this time, donations are urgently
requested to be sent to:
Make checks/MO's payable to: MOSB and
reference "Beauvoir Relief Fund" in the
Memo line.

PO Box 1274

The Beauvoir employees who have stayed are under great physical
hardship. A separate plea for the use of a travel trailer and
generators is also being made. Those wishing to provide a travel
trailer and/or generator are urged to contact Rick Forte directly
at 601-268-3323.
