Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    As you know, the mid-south region is just taking count of the
    devastation resulting from Hurricane Katrina. The Craft Emergency
    Relief Fund (CERF) is working to connect with the craft artists,
    galleries and others in the craft community in the affected areas but
    it is still too early to know how they fared. We do know that overall
    the damage is severe and widespread, as news reports show. We also
    know that this region of the country has a particularly high
    population of craft artists. 

    CERF is committed to helping and to keeping you informed about the
    ways in which you can help. To facilitate in this effort, we have
    created a Disaster Recovery Message Board on our web site:
    www.craftemergency.org. If you know a craft artist who needs help
    and/or if you can offer help (financial support, supplies, equipment,
    a place to stay or work, advice, encouraging words, etc.), please
    join in this discussion. 

    CERF's Disaster Relief Fund, interest-free loan programs and staff
    are prepared to respond to professional craft artists who have
    suffered significant losses. Please help us get the word out about
    the availability of our assistance as well as our need for the
    community's support at the time. 

    With warm regards, 

    Cornelia Carey 
    Executive Director
    http://craftemergency.org

    The mission of the Craft Emergency Relief Fund is to strengthen and
    sustain the careers of craft artists across the United States.
