(NAME-MCE) NAME Book project for New Orleans Elementary School

[Joyce E. Harris]

Greetings,
As our long-time members and friends know, we hold a preconference day  
during our annual international conference.  One of the new offerings  
this year is a Service Project at Martin Luther King Charter School in  
the Lower 9th Ward.  The Lower 9th Ward is the area hardest hit by the  
flooding after Hurricane Katrina.  In addition to a commemmorative  
tree planting symbolizing the recovery of the area and other  
activities, NAME would like to give the school some children's books.   
If you can donate new or VERY GENTLY used books appropriate for grades  
K-6, please send your donation to Ashraf Esmail.  He will collect them  
at the following location:
      Ashraf Esmail
      Southern University at New Orleans
      22A
      6801 Press Drive
      New Orleans, LA 70126
Thank you in advance,
Joyce
