Crosby Flood Relief Donation
Challenge
The heavy rainfall in
early August caused flood damage to many residences in and near the town of
Crosby. FEMA relief has not been
forthcoming and residents are dealing with the damage themselves. To provide a
slight bit of help to our Crosby neighbors, the Executive Committee has issued
a challenge to all society members and to the Facebook group members to donate
at least $5.00 to the “Crosby Cause.”
This challenge will
remain open through the December Open House and the society will make a
presentation of the funds prior to the Christmas holidays. We have
contacts with Operation Restore Crosby that will assist us in getting the funds
into the proper hands. A link will be provided on the Facebook page to a PayPal
account where donations can be made. Checks can be sent to the ACHGS at
PO Box 2, Liberty, MS 39645 with “Crosby Fund” noted in the memo space on the
check. The preference is to use the PayPal link. Our goal is to
raise at least $6500. Updates will be posted on the FB page and in the
newsletter.
