My brother's in Atlanta so I'll let him know. My SIL's family is from NO and they suffered pretty heavily--one brother's house was destroyed and the other brother's B&B was nearly done in (www.ashtonsbb.com if you want to read the blog about what it was like when Katrina came and what it did to their historic inn). I'm sure my brother and SIL and their friends will want to support this event.

So sorry about your brother. I just feel so helpless in all of this, and this is a good opportunity to help those who have suffered in Louisiana. I plan to drive to ATL for the event; my husband (also a Tulane alum) will be on his way to Europe on business.

Tulane was so great in all of this. From what I've read, they paid all of their faculty and staff for fall semester even though Tulane was closed down and headquartered in Houston. How awesome is that for an administration to support their employees in such a generous way! Go Green Wave!
