| Subject | Relief Effort #2: Far Rockaway |

Hello All,

If you look at the photos attached you will see Far Rockaway was =it very hard by the hurricane and its residents are still without power =nd living day to day with out the basics we take for granted. Since New =ork is OUR city we have to keep up with the need for help until we =ecover. We loaded up the bus graciously donated by the LFNY with twenty =onderful volunteers from all over the city and headed to the Mount =armel Baptist Church

The Bergen Beach Community Center has their eyes and ears on the =round in Brooklyn, Coney Island and Far Rockaway and as such, is able =o consistently help us get our groups, supplies and food into the right =ands. They introduced us to the team at the church yesterday and we =ere able to get hot meals to over 150 people throughout the course of =he afternoon. Amazingly, with our very limited "kitchen" (four charcoal =rills and two gas burners) and the excellent team of volunteers, we =ere able to not only offer a hot BBQ chicken dinner to the residents =ut to extend one hot meal into two by offering thermoses of =

of soup and wrapped hot =andwiches as well. As the afternoon wound down and our team prepared to =epart, we donated the kitchen set up to the church and no sooner did we =lean up than another team of volunteers came and took over the grills =o heat up another round of meals for the evening. Hazarding a guess, =hose grills will be working overtime in the next few weeks.

The =esidents were so happy to know they were not forgotten and the event =as a great success. Our hope is to be able to consistently help through =he coming weeks. With Thanksgiving and Christmas and more importantly, =old weather, coming we are fine tuning our approach so that we can =ontinue to provide hot meals to the people in these hard hit areas of =ur city that are still without the basic comforts of =ome.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated their time, =upplies, effort, money and good energy. As we learn with each =nitiative: it is truly a collaboration to make a =ifference.

Watch your email for the next =ffort!

Our committed =eam trying to keep the hot meal hot!

Surprisingly =he carrots were not the big favorite...

The happiest customer...

Sometimes we felt the =miles were as comforting as the meal...

The =aucisson...that's a Nathan's hot dog to most!

Elisabeth and =iane come up with a plan to "carwash" the dirty soup pots. =enius!
