As devastating wild fires continue to spread through Australia, just want to let all our Aussie friends know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  I am putting a care package together from the warehouse of clothing samples/demo's that we no longer use.  Jackie, I know you have friends in the affected area.  Can you (or anyone else) recommend an organization for me to send this to?  If so, please post reply or email me directly.

With all my heart,


Jen

p.s. I usually go through Americares but at this time they have no programs to Australia

    Perhaps someone on here can help me out. If any of you folks who live down in that area know of specific fire departments who are involved in fighting these fires could you please contact me with their contact information? Thanks in advance.
