Dear Cal Poly Community Members,

Knowing the giving spirit of our campus community, we are anticipating that our faculty, staff and students will be seeking information about how they can aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

You may wish to consider donating to the local San Luis Obispo County Red Cross and United Way. Monetary donations will be forwarded to local Louisiana and Mississippi Red Cross and United Way offices. These donations will help with both immediate and long-term aid as relief efforts continue. These agencies may also have additional programs that community members can participate in.

Please contact the local office of either agency (see contact information below) for additional information.

As always, thank you all for your dedication and commitment to the well being of others in need.

Warren J. Baker
President
