Organize your clubs and friends, neighbors, etc., ask them to start doing the following. Get a box or two or three, go thru your house and start collecting the following; (Place like items in the same box like food in one, bedding in another and so on) Water (Do not put in the box. Cases of bottled water, 20 fl oz plus, set aside) Canned meat and other canned nonperishable foods Peanut Butter (lots of peanut butter) Diapers (Baby bottles, toys, books) Towels (Used and worn are fine as long as they are clean) Bedding of any kind Clothing (socks, t-shirts, old jeans, etc) Cash (Doesen't matter how much or how little, just whatever you can spare) Mark the boxes with the items they contain and seal with tape. We will organize collection points once more information is obtained. The authorities have asked that we do not pile into cars and head that way, even to Houston. I know we all want to help and the best thing we can do is to start stock piling the much needed supplies listed above. They will be needed !! Casey True Few M/C Chairman / UCOA (512) 272-8645 ------------------------ 5> Date: 9/1/2005 From: S&B: It has never failed to happen. In times of "need" any type of need, the biker community of Texas has come to help. Anyone, anytime... Texas Bikers join together to ensure that enough money, food, clothing, toys and more than anything, HOPE is given to those who have little or none. Although I can't ride any more, I still read this S&B newsletter. Each time I see the names of people I have met throughout the years...still riding tall to help "people" in need. I see your faces, as we cross lanes, holding our hands out to say hello, brother/sister. To S&B, and all the riders who read this incredible newsletter, my prayers and blessings go out to each and every one of you. You have never needed a reason to ride, but, because of who you are inside, choose to do so. I was honored to be among you. "Wheeler" First B.A.C.A. Houston President (Love and Miss You, Doc) Former Owner Texas Full Throttle Magazine Bless You All ------------------------ 6> Biloxi Blues - For real this time Date: 9/1/2005 From: I am down in Biloxi, my home town, and trying to get in to check on my parents and family. I evacuated when the storm approached, they did not. The pictures do not do anything to show how horrible this is. There are injured people everywhere and tens of thousands of people with no where to go and no way to leave. I've heard the news people and others say why didn't these people leave. What's wrong with them? I stayed on the coast during Camille, now after Katrina the second worst hurricane. When you live 5 or six miles inland, you feel that the only thing you have to worry about is tornados and wind damage. When all of a sudden the seas double what they were predicted to do and now you have water 6 to 8 miles inland, well you're screwed and you loose everything. Your house, car, food, water, clothes, and sometimes even your life. This thing was way bigger then expected. If you can not give money, give blood or something to help and give it now. If you donate cash, please mark it as for the hurricane relief. This is an American tragedy and we really need to help if we can. Most of these people are very hard working Americans and have always helped other areas in time of need. Mississippi doesn't even have enough National Guard to help because they have the highest percentage of troops in Iraq of all the nations Guard units. Anything you can donate would greatly be appreciated by everyone here.

I figure the more folks who can spread the word the better. Here's the page - http://scootertramps.net/hurricane.html It also lists all the 800 numbers for the emergency organizations at the bottom. Everyone is welcome to copy/post/send any and all of this. Rebecca http://scootertramps.net ------------------------ 8> Date: 9/1/2005 From: To all Texas Bikers and Friends: The Texas Motorcycle Rights Assoication is providing an update of places to go and places to stay for those who have lost their homes in Louisana, Alabama, and Mississippi. We have been sent many e-mails we are keeping from bikers who have land and/or are willing to take in families for maybe months on end. Because of the great need to help our southern brothers and sisters, I have started "Operation take in a family".. If you are willing to take in even one person, one family, even pets, until they can get back on their feet, which maybe several months, we want to hear from you. We need bikers and friends in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, wherever. We need bikers who have land, ranches, camp grounds, anywhere we can place people and have them fed and confortable after going through this horrible ordeal. You can contact me, Terri Williams, at 512-971-8777, or Sputnik at 512-971-6777. Our office number is 1-800-391-7608, or local Austin area call 512-281-0537. my E-mail addresses are , tmra2secretary.org or Sputnik's e-mail at . We also need e-mail addresses and phones numbers sent for any biker clubs and/or groups in these three states so we can get the word out to them when their phones are working that we have places for them to stay in the central Texas area. We all know that if this happened to Texas, the people of Louisana and surrounding states would take us in their homes IN A HEART BEAT. We need to do the same for them!!!!!
