In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's destruction, the Texas Glass Association has started collecting funds to deliver to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund designated specifically for the victims of the hurricane.

Tax deductible checks payable to the Texas Glass Association with the notation "ARC" or "American Red Cross" can be sent to the TGA office at Box 92-4302, Houston, TX 77292-4302.

Also, TGA executive director Virginia Lee points out that many of disaster-stricken colleagues have lost even the most basic of housing and if anyone is willing to donate (or offer at a significantly reduced rate) their second home or garage apartment, TGA will make this information available to the proper people. The email address is tganga@sbcglobal.net.
