Tomorrow our team from The Giving Circle comprised of our President - Dr. Ronald M. Maenza,
V.P. Operations - Bruce Thompson, Treasurer - Karyl Maenza and myself will be on our way to Waveland, Miss. There we will meet with our community leader Stacey Cato and her right hand woman Renee Jefferys and many local officials, residents, families, schools and other groups including a representative from our friends from Chicago KARING.

Today has been outstanding with many great things are happening on many or our projects already underway. Upon our return Dr. Maenza will share with you all about our trip and the plan of action we will be launching and how all of us acting together doing just what we can will help our friends, our family in Waveland, Miss again find ease and normalcy.

Just last night Kelly and I watched a piece on TV talking about the effects of the Hurricanes on the children( and all people there) of the Golf Coast as to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Much, most related to loss of home and community, loss of ease and normally. We can help with this help our friends again have real homes not tents and campers, recreation and play areas, operational schools and activities, community.

Many people acting out of compassion doing just a little, just what they can will do so much in Waveland.
