[OT from cottage renovations]

in March the Grove is sending a working party to pitch in on gulf coast rebuilding.  this has been in the works for a while though the details are coming together slowly though perhaps it's just the inevitable lag in my own comprehension of them. 

here's what I do know:

• the work site is in Mississippi.  though the initial cleanup is said to be finished there's plenty of rebuilding left to do. 
   
• a fundraiser will be held in M^cCathran Hall on Leap Day.  I am contributing to the silent auction a print of this image: matted, framed and inscribed to the purchaser.  but that's not all enough:
   
• I'm going. 

and yes, there will be pictures. 

[edit:  am also offering a "purchaser's pick" offer for a print of the image of their choice, either from the ones already taken or as commissioned by the winning bidder.  I don't know how well either of these will do by every bit helps.]

Oh, that's fantastic! Being news deprived, (and more embarrassed) I could only guess what rebuilding is needed in Mississippi. Was there flooding? I love adventures like this and I hope a lot of unknowns remain that way until you're there.

Let us outsiders know how we can donate also.

New Orleans got the majority of the headlines but the devastation was spread out along the coasts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. 

there will be more in this space about funding as further details become available.

Oh, your house renovating experience is going to be really valuable there. I'm awfully glad that the rest of the "Third Coast" will be getting some help too. A bunch of people who are used to older wood frame houses will be just the thing.

I'll be looking forward to hearing more about the project as it develops!
