I volunteered at the Red Cross shelter in Gautier (the ham radio operator)... just want to send my best to everyone there, in Jackson county, and across the Gulf Coast, and say HANG IN THERE... we have NOT forgotten you!!!!!

Also, I know one of the librarians was looking for a mattress--that might be something to add to the wish list.

Love,
Robin (native New Orleanian)

I have a supply house in Miamisburg, Ohio. We can't really afford to donate anything but, we can supply you with everything from floor mats to restaurant equipment at just above cost. We are a supplier for many manufacturers in janitorial needs, and restaurants for equipment and small ware needs. We'll do our best and we represent over 700 manufactures, so we can get what ever you need.
