Used Computers
 February 07, 2006

  Schools and libraries in the areas hardest hit by hurricanes Katrina and
Rita are starting to come back on line. Nancy Jo Craig and the CACRC
(Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council) have been working hard to
refurbish, donate, and distribute close to 1200 personal computers since the
hurricanes, and now need more.

 She writes me: "I have to tell you sometimes the tragedy of these two
hurricanes and their aftermath is just overwhelming. It is hard to even put
it into words. There are places that I have loved all my life that just no
longer exist. Today for some reason has felt especially hard. Everyone in
the state is still in a weird state of shock and sorrow.

 "We have donated close to 1200 computers. The bulk of these have gone to
schools in impacted areas, displaced non-profits, area non-profits that are
working on hurricane relief projects, and individuals. Over 600 were placed
in schools, 400 in non-profits and 200 with individuals. We are running low
on computers and hope we can get another round donated. The need is still
great."

 The National Cristina Foundation is helping to coordinate donations to
Nancy Jo and CACRC, and contact information is below. There is some limited
funding to help with transportation costs, but it is only for larger
shipments. Contact: Rob Zopf Vice President of Operations National Cristina
Foundation 500 West Putnam Avenue, 4th Floor Greenwich, CT 06830
