Evacuees In Smyrna, TN - One Smyrna Organization Planning a Cheerful Christmas

Evacuees of hurricane Katrina have made it to the Smyrna, TN area by way of the air base. More than 200 evacuees have taken up residence - if only temporarily - in Smyrna. One local martial arts school, Smyrna Martial Arts - of the the Mu Sa Moo Duk Kwan Tang So Do Federation, plans to organize to help families displaced by hurricane Katrina during the holiday season. Although no formal plans have been announced, it is likely that they will take cash donations, among other things.

Instructor Melody Rose (Nurse) announced Tuesday evening in the first class at the Smyrna Town Center that instructor Wayne Blair (Raborn Insurance of Smyrna, TN) and she are asking the students to brainstorm on ways in which they can come together to help the families have a bright and cheerful Christmas. Information about any planned activities will be posted here and if you wish to make a donation, please email me at dailydiablogger@gmail.com, I am a student at the Smyrna Martial Arts School.

Although I have not made any income from my adsense ads as of yet, I pledge my first check to this cause if that check comes before the holiday season has past.

I've looked at my log files and am seeing hits from Mississippi and Houston, TX. If you are looking for someone and you think they may be here, please post a comment. If you are an evacuee in Smyrna, TN and you are looking for someone or simply want someone to know you are alive, feel free to post your comment here as well.

And on a final note, I also think that it is very important that these evacuees understand that we do not suffer from the same apparent racist culture. I hope that this becomes evident through the welcoming spirit and hospitality that the residents of Smyrna, TN will no doubt show. My biggest concern is in the reshaping of the minds of the children and teens.
