<b>Subject:</b> [alacoun] ALA relief efforts at Annual<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Michael Dowling has asked me to alert Councilors to the fact that the International Relations and Chapter Relations Offices will be taking in donations at Annual for Haiti, Japan, Alabama, and Missouri.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This year, we will have two clearly marked donation boxes set up at Information Booths in the Convention Center. All funds donated will be split equally between the four relief efforts.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We provide information about the donation boxes in the Registration Area, in Cognotes and at the Opening General Session. We will also include flyers (How and where to make donations) at the Information Booths for those attendees who would like to make an individual donation to a specific relief effort. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Alabama and Missouri (Joplin) donations will be used to provide assistance to librarians who have lost their homes or otherwise been affected by the recent tornados. The Chapters there have set up their own donation opportunities, so this is where we will refer interested parties after conference. Haiti and Japan donations will be used<span style="color: red;"> </span>for library reconstruction. These donations will come through ALA, as we can provide the most effective conduit for donations outside the United States.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
