Katrina Relief in Houston -- HELP!
Hi everyone!
As you've seen in the Vietnamese press, THOUSANDS of Vietnamese folks are stranded in Houston. Our office there is in Hong Kong Mall V and is being overwhelmed with people needing food, gas money, a way to contact their relatives to let them know they're ok.
If you're in the Houston area, please give me a ring. We're in desperate need of people who can speak Vietnamese & are tech-savvy so we can apply for food stamps and FEMA emergency funds for these folks. We'll especially need help this weekend so our staff can go home and be with their families and recoup for the work they'll be doing in the coming weeks. We're expecting a shipment of food & water from the Red Cross any day now. So, we'll need some folks to unload and distribute those.
I arrive in Houston at 8am tomorrow (Saturday). If you're in Austin, San Antonio and can help through the weekend, you're more than welcome to crash on our floor in our hotel room.
Cell: 703-304-7392
Houston office: 281-530-688
Thanks!

Dear Friends,
In the wake of the devastation caused by Katrina, many Vietnamese community groups have expressed that our community ought to do something to help the victims. Along with the millions of people that were affected by Katrina are approximately 55,000 of our very own Vietnamese brothers and sisters.
Therefore, Vietnamese American Community of Southern California (VACSC) would like to invite the leaders of all community groups to attend a special meeting this Tuesday night (9/6/2005) @ Little Saigon Radio conference room at 7:00 pm. (15781 Brookhurst St., Suite 101, Westminster, CA 92683)
We will discuss the various fundraising options our community can undertake in order to assist the relief effort. During these difficult times, your involvement is critical. Please take the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting.
Yours,
VACSC
