[SEMCO] HURRICANE KATRINA: Gathering on September 11th

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

SPECIAL GATHERING IN RESPONSE TO EMERGENCIES
 
Hurricane Katrina has created an environmental nightmare on the Gulf  Coast!  
  The reports about urban flooding, pollution, and human  suffering that  
America has recently seen on television are  terrifying.   Environmentalists in 
coastal areas are asking, "How can  this kind of tragedy be avoided in the 
future?"   "What do we need to  do in the midst of this crisis?"
 
On Sunday afternoon, September 11th, community people in Falmouth will  
gather to honor emergency services workers.   We will remember the  9/11 tragedies. 
 We will also remember the Hurricane Katrina  crisis...  We're still in the 
midst of hurricane season...  
 
The September 11th gathering will take place at 5:00 pm, on the main  village 
green in Falmouth.   If the weather is difficult, we'll move  into one of the 
local churches...  This will be a gathering for prayer and  reflection.   
Representatives of the fire department, the police  department,  and other 
agencies involved with emergency services will be  present...  The event has been 
developed with support from the Falmouth  Hospital staff and local clergy.
 
For additional information about the September 11th gathering, please  
telephone the Unitarian Universalist church offices in Falmouth.   TELEPHONE: (508) 
457-0449.   
 
The church office has information for environmentalists, and others, who  
would like to be involved with emergency services projects.  Please call,  if you 
can volunteer.
