[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Doug Porritt <doug.porritt@sbcglobal.net>

We are again getting ready to ship supplies to Haiti via
a sea container.  We would like to make this information available to others
in the newsgroup if the opportunity can help serve in the work they are
doing in Haiti.

Our ship date is set of September 29, 2006 from our warehouse in Grand
Rapids, MI.

I can send information to anyone interested.  My email is
doug.porritt@sbcglobal.net and my phone number is 616-453-5550.



Best wishes again
