To All Members of the Ferrum College Community:

In an effort to assist the many, many victims of Hurricane Katrina, agencies across the country are asking for financial support. I have been in dialogue with the United Methodist Churches Committee on Relief and they have said that financial contributions are of the greatest need at this time. In order that our community have an opportunity to assist our brothers and sisters who have been affected by the winds and rains of Katrina you may send donations of any size to either myself in Bassett Hall 106 or Bonner Coordinator Joyce Scott in Bassett Hall 104. Gifts of all amounts will be greatly appreciated. Please be assured that every dollar raised and sent to UMCOR will go directly to hurricane victim relief. This is the same organization we went through in our Tsunami Relief Effort. Checks should be made payable to Ferrum College and earmarked for the Katrina Relief Fund.

Students: You will be solicited in your Residence Halls early next week. So please save your change for this worthwhile cause.

Blessings,
Wes Astin
Dean of the Chapel & Religious Life
