Knoxville's Katrina Relief Fund

Have we forgotten? It was only August 29, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana. Not even a year and yet how easy it is to forget the devastation. That is, unless you lived in the wake of the storm.

Sometimes, because so much is happening in the world, we tend to forget about disasters that have happened here at home. The tendency may also be that we think everything is back to normal. But for the folks of Louisiana and Mississippi, it will take a few more years before things will be back to normal.

Over 1,604 people lost their lives in this storm. Over $75 billion in damage, just in the U.S. "Due to the huge loss of life and property, officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have recommended that the name Katrina (along with the names Rita and Wilma) be officially retired from the list of hurricane names by the World Meteorological Organization.^{"

But it's not over and you can help! On May 6, 2006, in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, there will be a fund raiser for the Katrina Relief Fund. Now get this: FREE Seafood!!! Can you believe it?! Not only is the food FREE, but you will have the opportunity to dance to the sounds of The Great Imponderables. The event will last from 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

Now although this event it TOTALLY FREE and open to the public, we don't want you to miss its purpose. There will be contribution points for you to make donations to the Katrina Relief Fund. All proceeds go to that fund to help the victims of this disaster.

This event is presented by Capt. Paul Willis. He lost 3 of his own fishing vessels in this disaster. He has since moved to Tennessee and helped employ and provide for many more victims of the hurricane. This event will benefit still others.

So, as they say here in the south, "It ain't over till its over!" Come on out and join us for an afternoon of great food, good music, and an opportunity to help out our friends affected by this terrible storm.
