I thank the brothers who responded to my letter entitled KOSOVO - Albanian
Refugees which I posted yesterday. I have been doing research into
organizations and what would be the best ways to help; last night I found
the following information of organizations that are accepting donations for
the Kosovo Refugees as well as the Red Cross News Letter on the Refugee
Crisis which was published on the net last summer. I have not had the time
to verify the validty of some of these organizations, but if your chapter or
alumni association is willing to help I would choose a group that you know.
If you wish to contact me directly you may do so at dremwlkr@ix.netcom.com
or JThomas_1@excite.com. I am an alumnus in the Washington, DC
metropololitan area.
