In light of the truly devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, the board of the Golden Crown Literary Society (GCLS) has established a special GCLS Relief Fund. This fund, to be administered by the GCLS Advisory Board, will take donations from the public on behalf of all those authors, publishers, and supporters in our community who have been affected by the storm.

Here is your opportunity to help people you know and love in recovering from this disaster. Some women have lost possessions, others are now homeless; all of these folks need our assistance and generosity.

Funds will be disbursed based on applications filed with the GCLS. The amounts disbursed will be dependent on donations received and the extent of the need.

Please, give what you can. In addition, a percentage of the profits from purchases made at StarCrossed Productions during the month of September will be channeled into this fund, so you may also wish to contribute in that way as well. We hope many of you will join us in this effort.

The GCLS Advisory Board
