Request for immediate Katrina help

[Shagley]

If anyone is looking for an immediate way to help Katrina victims, this message was just sent out from the Assistant Dean at the College that I work at (University of Illinois College of Medicine). This is a legitimate request, so if anyone can help, I'm sure it will be appreciated.
