To date we have collected 81,375 shirts

We need help with pickups from the following locations

ON ISLAND

PS 16 80 Monroe Ave (100 shirts)

OFF ISLAND

2 Hudson Place Hoboken NJ (700 shirts)

St. Theresa's Church 2855 St. Theresa Ave Bronx NY 10461 (500 shirts)

787 7th Ave NYC 10019 (300 shirts)

Baruch College Performing Arts Box Office 25th and Lexington Ave (3,000 shirts)

We have no success with our outreach to any charities or businesses so we will have to do this on our own

We got another e-mail from the Red Cross

The best advice I can give you is to ask airlines for free or discounted space. They are opening up again for Haiti. Or, you could run them to Miami – there is a lot of ocean transport available from there. The American Red Cross is not able to assist with funding.

I guess they really want to let us know that they are not interested.

All we are asking is that they include our supplies with one of their shipments. So I really do not understand the response.

We will be brainstorming this week about a possible fundraiser your input would be appreciated.

We still need another 10,000 shirts but are looking for a few big pickups.

We ask everyone to check with their businesses, schools or organizations about leftover shirts from old events.

I once again like to that everyone who has contributed so far.

To date we have collected $2,830.

We are also going to make up labels that say from your friends at _________. We will then print all of the various schools organizations etc who have participated.

Keep up the good work.

Dennis
