First Southern Relief Distribution Center being established in Mississippi
information compiled by Mike Crane

Three or more trucks are now en-route to Mississippi with supplies to help Compatriots ravaged by Hurricane Katrina as the following message announces. Unlike many Relief and charitable funds 100% of your contributions are used to provide direct assistance to our fellow citizens. No high paid PR specialists and fancy offices. Just trucks rolling down the road with non perishables, roofing supplies, tarps, etc contributed by people who care.

One of the first recipients will be the family of John Cripps who had asked for a generator to run his family's well. As many know John is a Pastor and his farm will be used as an initial distribution point. Also as a Pastor John will know of many deserving families and what their needs are.

We are still working on getting information on the various funds that are participating in this direct assistance and two are listed below.

Mike:

We have already got a brand new 7000 watt generator and two filled 55 gal gas drums and other items ont the way to John Cripps yesterday around 5PM. This first vehicle is commandeered by Dennis Wheeler out of Greenville. He should reach John this morning if he isn't already there already there.

Following behind him this afternoon will be us in Florida (me and Dan Gonzales and I believe Michael Tubbs. We have rounded up thousands of dollars of donations and two 24 foot diesel trucks (and maybe more trucks than that and with more volunteer drivers) and we will be leaving late this afternoon for Cripps' neighborhood). Our trucks will be loaded commercial by pallets and filled to capacity with water, food, temporary building and roof covers like the blue tarps that were big savers for Florida last year.

I think Mike that Cripps will be overwhelmed with deliveries starting this morning and into the next 24-36 hours in the area south of Hattiesburg where he is at. And maybe we should all just use John as a drop off point as he is a preacher he surely knows those that are in need in the area.

Call me if you need any information or people need any coordination with us.

Everyone should have the capacity to refuel their vehicles by carrying fuel drums in any convoy you might have. We presently in our group have the 4-55gal drums with gas and diesel fuel and will probably need more as some of the fuel will be for John and then some for our trucks. But we have some smart people in the Southern movement that will figure the logistics out I am sure.

If anyone needs to call me on my cell it is (239) 849-3576

For a FreeFlorida,

LOS Relief Material enroute to Mississippi

Compatriots: Please note that we are now accepting donations to The League of the South's Katrina Relief Fund via Paypal on http://www.dixienet.org. Please be generous if you can. This will be only the first of several missions, God willing.

Our first expedition will depart tonight for south Mississippi. Please pray that it will be a safe and successful trip. Will be forced to carry all our gasoline supplies because of severe shortages in south Alabama and Mississippi.

Will report back from time to time on the progress of the trip.

FSI,

LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH "KATRINA" RELIEF FUND

       The League of the South will undertake a relief fund for our members who were victims of Hurricane Katrina.

       Our first order of business has been to contact our members in south Alabama, south Mississippi, and southeast Louisiana who were in the storm's path. Thus far, we are happy to note that most of our members in Mobile and the surrounding areas of southwest Alabama have reported in safely with little major property damage. However, because of our inability to contact LS members in Mississippi and Louisiana, we have no idea about their status or specific needs. I can report, however, that Ron Kennedy and his family, who live in Mandeville (north of NO on the lake front), are safe in north Louisiana. Dr. and Mrs. Milburn Calhoun, owners of Pelican Publishers of Gretna, are also there and safe as well.

       Once we're able to confirm the status of our members from these areas, we will assess their needs, and then use the funds we've collected to provide for those needs. Because of the widespread destruction it is likely that the recovery period will stretch over many months.

       The LS Katrina Relief Fund will be administered by the LS Board of Directors. Funds will not be distributed until we can confirm the exact needs of our members and until we can actually deliver the goods. Obviously, some of our less well-off members will be placed at the top of the list for assistance. Any funds collected that are not used for this particular emergency will be sequestered in a separate account to be used for future emergency events.

       If you would like to help us help our own people, please send your non-tax-deductible donation, marked "Katrina Relief Fund" and made payable to the League, to

LS
PO Box 760
Killen, Alabama 35645.

May God bless you and may He relieve the suffering of our people.

       On behalf of the LS Board of Directors,

Michael Hill
President, The League of the South
