Flood relief donations generous; additional fundraisers planned

Two funds have been established for SMU community members severely affected by the Aug. 19 flood — one to help faculty and staff, and a second to help area alumni.

Initial fundraising efforts have been very generous. More than $12,500 has come in so far from faculty, staff, alumni, members of the Board of Trustees, vendors and other friends of the university.

The need is still very great. Please continue to give generously to the many among us who have lost so much, and who continue to experience heartache.

A special internal fundraising event is tentatively scheduled for October. More details will be explained next week. A small portion of the fundraiser will be a silent auction. If you are able to donate art, jewelry, cards, crafts, homemade treats, volunteer work, or any other time or talents, please let Deb Nahrgang know at dnahrgan@smumn.edu or Ext. 6966. All proceeds will directly be distributed to our own faculty and staff who have lost their homes and belongings.
