Jean Knaack's Statement from RRCA re: Katrina

Our Sympathies to the Gulf Coast Region
Jean Knaack, Execdir@rrca.org
The Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) offers our deepest sympathies to everyone in the Gulf Coast region affected by Hurricane Katrina. While driving to work today and hearing the stories about death, destruction, and survival, I thought long and hard about what I could say to our members affected by the devastation. It is difficult to put my feelings and concerns into words. In all sincerity, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this most difficult time. To all of our members affected, in what ever way we can help, please let us know. The running community in this country is here to support the running community in the Gulf Coast region.
The New Orleans Track Club and the city of New Orleans, LA were the generous hosts for the 48th Annual RRCA Convention. In order to give back to the New Orleans running community, the RRCA has set up a special fund to help the member clubs in New Orleans and surrounding areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. If you would like to contribute to the fund, please send your tax deductible donation made payable to the RRCA and include in the memo section, New Orleans Fund. 100% of the contributions collected will go to the Fund, and the RRCA will work with local running community leaders in New Orleans to ensure that 100% of the funds are applied to direct aid efforts. For more information on making contributions, please see the Contribution link on the first page of the website.
Sincerely,
Jean Knaack
Executive Director
