First and foremost, RSL MF Jean Alexandre e-mailed from Argentina today to say that he is safe and that he is searching for word from his Dad and Aunt who are in Haiti; we will keep everyone posted on that front …
In the meantime, we have been asked by our partners at KUTV 2 to join them, Wells Fargo and several other local companies to staff phones TOMORROW, Friday, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. downtown at their telethon fundraiser with the Red Cross …
Please let me know ASAP if you or your family can help donate time in the form of 1-hour, 2-hour or 4-hour blocks … we will also have Andy Williams and Raphael Cox there at some point, and will ask our fans to help as well, as this tragedy has struck very, very close to home …
Thanks
