Hi folks, The following is passed along with permission. Please pass it along as you feel is appropriate. FYI, Ted has been friend of mine for years and I totally vouch for him. Best regards to all, Jay Wiseman xxxxxxxxxxxxx It is my pleasure to announce the following first donations to the Leather Fund. New England Leather Alliance has donated $1000 and has earmarked further activities at the next Fetish Fleamarket for the Leather Fund. International Ms Leather 2005, Jessi HolmanAhart, and FIST have raised and donated $500 dollars for the Leather Fund. Fist is a women's leather club from the Baltimore/Washington, DC area. I want to offer my thanks and the thanks of the Leather Community for their generosity. If your community has funds to donate, or would like to plan a fundraiser for the Leather Fund, please contact: Ted Carter at mstersade@aol.com Travis Wilson at travisw@pdq.net DomLeo at domleo@austin.rr.com The Leather Fund is being established as a Louisiana nonprofit corporation with the purpose of meeting the long term rebuilding and restablishment needs of the Leather Community affected by Hurricane Katrina. As a goal the Leather Fund has set a minimum level of $200,000 in resources. It is believed that out of tragedy often comes benefit and it is hoped by those that are establishing this fund that the fund will be there not only for this disaster, but for whatever future disasters may strike our community. If a need in our community is not being met, if assistance is needed immediately for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact one of the above. Please feel free to post this email to any list or any individual that you wish to. Thank you. In Leather Unity, for Leather Recovery, Ted Carter
