**drewbert** - have your company (or the person responsible) read this: [Who gave the partial dentures?](http://disasternews.net/news/news.php?articleid=8) If they still want to take clothing donations, please get them at least sorted & washed first. But I doubt that anyone in the NO area will take the clothes. **bdgr** - where’s your coffee place? I haven’t put in my contribution yet - my company will be matching funds so I need a receipt. ---
