Dear Fellow Burners -


Tom Price, Press Information Officer at BM, has asked me to help collect information on Burner-related Katrina relief efforts nationwide.

I have created a Yahoo Group that will allow regional and “on the ground” burners share information about their work. groups.yahoo.com/group/BM_Katrina

Please feel free to post any relevant information, photos, blogs…

The Burning Man “Temple to Temple” crew are already in Biloxi, MS

Matt Lindsay (a heavy equipment wrangler for David Best's Temple crew since 2000) and friends are in Biloxi, MS with several tons of heavy equipment and nine generators. They are working with Oxfam and World Shelters www.worldshelters.com to set up temporary shelter for thousands of displaced people.

“Temple to Temple” has set up shop in the leveled Chau Van Duc Buddhist Temple in east Biloxi, and have successfully established a 24-hour free supermarket in a 44-foot dome donated by Pacific Domes www.pacificdomes.com, in an effort to aid the neglected Vietnamese community still living there.

*MONEY for GAS to run their GENERATORS, and buy more DOMES to house people in!
