It has been over four years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. As we’ve been so poignantly reminded in recent days with the devastating earthquake in Haiti and its aftermath, such disasters can seem overwhelming, yet there is also a sense that if each individual contributes something of their gifts to the greater good, that the collective effort will aid those in need in some small way. That’s why I hope you’ll join at least 60 other ERA colleagues who have signed up to support Beacon of Hope, which assists neighborhoods still devastated by Hurricane Katrina. On Sunday, January 31, before the Great Ideas Summit kicks into full gear, members of the direct marketing community will band together to help homeowners with such tasks as painting, landscaping, minor demolition, clearing and general rebuild work. No experience is necessary and lunch, transportation and a donation to Beacon of Hope will be provided. Only a handful of slots remain, so if you’d like to be a part of this team, contact Jamie Hill at jhill@retailing.org or 703-908-1026.
