Beth El was asked to pro- vide water, plastic and paper dinner- ware, paper towels, disinfectants, personal hygiene items and volun- teers to pack the truck. Beth El reached every member it could by e-mail and Youth Director Denise Goodman telephoned religious school students. In less than 24 hours, dozens of members had purchased and dropped off supplies at the temple. Paul Wertz of Excellence Too Catering contributed supplies as well. Volunteers arrived Friday morning to pack the truck driven by Red Cross volunteer Michael Drew and quickly filled 500 cubic feet of cargo space. Temple Beth El has since packed a second truck and is working toward packing a third. Contributions can be brought to the temple lobby during business hours. In addition, the religious school has designated several disaster relief funds as recipients of their tzedakah money collected during September and is collecting gift cards from national chain stores to aid the disas- ter victims. The Young People's Society and Junior Young People's Society have begun a Noah's Ark program, collect- ing Beanie Babies for the next three months for the children displaced by the disaster. If your group is doing anything special to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina, please let us know. Call Sy Manello at (248) 351-5147 or e-mail: smanello @th ej ewishneWs col n.
