We
Remember September 11.
Last year we made the decision to cancel our newsletter, a
contest and another project. Nothing seemed more important
than what were were going through as a country. We
received many notes from you letting us know how you felt.
We thought you might like to read a few of them.
These are in response to the following note we sent: |
| We
are all saddened and outraged by the attack on America Tuesday,
and extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to all the people
affected. In light of this there will not be a Scrapbooking.com
Memory Gram this week.
Our thoughts
and prayers are with the victims and families affected by these
tragic events. We would like to thank the courageous men and
women working around the clock that are involved in rescue
efforts and those people responsible for keeping the American
public safe.
For
information on how you can help, please contact your local Red
Cross centers either through their web site at http://www.redcross.org
or through their toll-free number, 1-800-HELP-NOW.
Best wishes,
The
Scrapbooking.com Staff

e-mails, i truly appreciated your thoughts about the NY tragedy.
Most of my family is there, and I am truly blessed that none of
them were physically injured, but like the rest of the nation,
we all will be emotionally scarred for a long time to come, but
not morally broken. Thanks again for your words, and I look
forward to much better e-mails from you in the future. God Bless
our Country. |
Elena C. tells us: Believe it or
not, we are going to do a "Giving Blood" page for our
scrapbook--when you are so far away from a tragedy, it is
sometimes hard for people to understand that they too can make a
difference. We plan on posting this at our upcoming board
meeting. Thank-you for observing this sad day. A Proud American |
No matter how much I enjoy the
Scrapbooking Memory Gram, GOOD FOR YOU!!! For postponing it!

The
Dell Home Systems Team: In
the wake of Tuesday's tragic terrorist attacks, our hearts go
out to those people and their families who have been affected.
As we struggle to comprehend the magnitude of this senseless
terror, it will be important for all of us to rely on each other
for support and comfort.
We recognize the difficulty in maintaining daily routines in the
face of such unprecedented horror. We also recognize that many
of our affiliates and our affiliates' families and friends were
in the vicinity of the terrorist attacks, and we will make every
effort to support those in need.
As we continue to grieve for the victims and families affected
by Tuesday's devastating assault, our country has begun the task
of responding, rebuilding and moving forward. We will continue
to assess our customers' needs, as well as how we can provide
further support to the disaster relief efforts. Thank you
for your continued commitment to those in need of comfort and
support during this difficult situation.

scrapbooking friends about the Red Cross' efforts in the NY
tragedy. I have been volunteering at the local Red Cross office
since Tuesday and we are swamped but no one's complaining. So
many are calling to help. thanks again, and keep up the good
work!"

Airlines wrote this to us: "The
past few days have been a very difficult time for all of
us. We hold in our hearts the passengers and crews of the
aircraft involved in this unfortunate event. We mourn for the
thousands who suffered in the buildings and on the ground. And
we applaud the dedicated men and women who are helping with the
rescue effort - and providing comfort and solace for the
families and friends of the victims.
United Airlines is working closely with government agencies to
ensure safe and reliable travel, now and into the future. Your
patience and cooperation are appreciated during this time.

trying to keep everyone else updated on items concerning the tragedy
this week. Your mention of the American Red Cross web site and
telephone number will be seen by hundreds that might not have
known about this avenue in which to make a donation Thank
you!"

importantly for sharing in the losses and priorities of our
