Hello Everyone, Last week Typhoon Haiyan devastated islands in the central Philippines. Efforts are underway to take food, water, medical supplies and the many items they need to survive. As you all may know some of our coworkers have family and friends who live in the Philippines. Fortunately they are unharmed, but many are still affected by the devastation of the storm. We would like to ask for your help and support so that we can send a donations directly to the Philippines. There is an Ocean Freight liner leaving Sunday to take supplies directly to the affected areas. We are trying to collect as many items as possible by Saturday morning because we must drop them off by 4:00pm. If you are unable to donate any items by Saturday we will continue to collect supplies until the due date of the next shipment. I will send out a follow-up email with the date all items are needed.
