Subject: [Fieldstaff-l] Another update on the Florida District


Greetings, Colleagues!

I spoke with Mary Higgins this evening and she assures me that her
spirits are good 
and she is able to maintain contact with the Florida District leaders
who have 
been most affected by the recent hurricane.  Mary's electricity has been

restored, though she does not yet have email.  The FLD office has
neither at this 
point.

Mary will be visiting the Port Charlotte's UU Fellowship of Charlotte
County 
and Fort Meyers congregations on Tuesday and reports relief teams are 
assembled and ready to go assist the affected communities as soon as an
assessment has 
been done.  Neighboring UU's are able to host the volunteers who travel
there 
to help.  The UUA's Trauma Response Team will be coming to the district
soon 
to provide additional support and training to district and
congregational 
leaders.  For all this, we are grateful.

Right now the biggest need is financial.  There has been an estimated $3

billion in damages to the Orlando area alone.  The coastal areas that
were hardest 
hit have not yet been fully assessed.

Financial contributions can be sent to:

The Florida District-UUA Disaster Relief Fund
Florida District, UUA
1901 E. Robinson St, Suite 18
Orlando, FL  32803


Many thanks for keeping our FLD folks in your thoughts and prayers,
