| REALTORS® Relief Efforts for Hurricane Katrina In an open letter to the more than 1 million members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, 2005 NAR President Al Mansell announced the donation of more than $1 million to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Read the letter in its entirety below, along with instructions on how you can contribute to the relief effort. _______________________________________________________________________  Dear Fellow REALTOR®: As we witness the horror and tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina, we don’t have to sit silently by. We can do something now to help. More than 40,000 REALTORS® have been affected by Katrina--more than any other disaster in history. Many have lost their homes and their businesses. Almost all REALTORS® in the region devastated by the storm have lost their livelihood because the real estate business in their communities will be shut down for months to come. REALTORS® raised over $8 million to help the families of 9/11 victims keep their homes and we raised more than $1.8 million in record time for the victims of the Tsunami. Now we must help the victims of Katrina--so many of whom are our friends and colleagues. But this miracle can’t happen without your help. I need you and other REALTORS® like you to make a contribution that will have a huge impact on the life of a fellow REALTOR®. The REALTORS® Relief Foundation and similar REALTOR® foundations in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi are raising money now to help victims of Hurricane Katrina in those states. NAR has kicked off the effort with two contributions totaling more than $1 million, but we will need a lot more. Won’t you join us? EVERY PENNY donated will go directly to help victims of Hurricane Katrina get back on their feet. Find out more about the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. You can make tax deductible contributions online through the following secure site powered by NAR’s e-commerce system: https://www.realtor.org/relief. To contribute by mail, checks should be made payable to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation and mailed to the NAR Finance Division in Chicago:
Sincerely, Al Mansell President NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® |
