In an effort to assist
Hurricane Katrina victims,
EnerStar Power has donated
approximately 150 telephone
calling cards. Each card has
30 minutes of free calling.
The American Red Cross,
through local efforts of the
Edgar County Chapter, will
distribute the cards
directly to victims.
"Every little bit helps,"
said Jim Englum, the local
chapter coordinator. "And we
can get these cards directly
to those in need. Once
communications have been
restored, they will be able
to contact their families."
Victims of Hurricane Katrina
need all the assistance they
can get. Monetary financial
contributions enable the Red
Cross to support the
greatest needs in the most
efficient manner. Cash can
be used to purchase items in
adjacent, staging areas and
eliminate the added costs
involved in transporting
goods. If you would like to
make a financial
contribution, call the Red
Cross at 1-800-HELP-NOW or
