Local Residents Help Hurricane Victims :: The Villages of Woodland Springs

These local homeowners are making a very personal effort to assist the victims of hurricane Katrina. We received the following letter on September 1st and have received permission to re-print it here. The need in Dallas/Fort Worth alone has risen to 15,000 to 25,000 homeless people. If you would like to make a very personal contribution, please read this letter:

	I am happy to report tonight that the Bass Family coordinated the hurricane relief efforts and offered their garage as a drop-off site for today's donations. Our community is fortunate to have Jennifer Bass and family encouraging such generosity in our community. I thank them for all their efforts today, especially in the blazing heat. Residents of VOWS supported this endeavor by dropping off their donations throughout the day and into the night. Then, neighbors sorted, packaged and labeled all the contributions into the late evening hours. The transport truck arrived and was then loaded by homeowners who waited or arrived to help complete the project. The caravan will leave in the early morning hours to deliver the clothing and supplies to fellow displaced Americans staying in Arlington. Also, Carlton Powell provided an alternative drop-off location for the donations to aid the hurricane-displaced families on the west corridor. I appreciate families coming together to help this evening. I hope to have pictures to share with the Advisory Committee and fellow homeowners via the community website. Please extend a warm thank you to everyone involved in this effort. Hats off to the Bass Family...Jennifer, Wade, Spencer, and Mason - It is a pleasure to have you as neighbors. See you in the morning. Pauline Veness
