September 2005
Hurricane Katrina has created the most catastrophic disaster in the history of our nation. The extent of the suffering and misery in Louisiana and Mississippi is devastating to all of us as we read and watch events unfold. We all grieve for our fellow countrymen, women and children.
The technology community is well-positioned
to contribute its particular expertise to the devastation resulting from
this storm. If you would like to join in this critical aid effort,
we suggest two organizations aimed at applying technology
to this
urgent situation.
The Wireless Internet Service Providers
Organization, known as PART-15.org, is working with the Federal Emergency
management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
to reestablish internal communications
and provide connectivity to
those affected by Katrina. This organization offers opportunities to
volunteer equipment, personnel or supplies, to donate funds, and to
provide shelter relief services http://www.part-15.org/emergencyrelief/katrina.html.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's
National Emergency Resource Registry http://www.swern.gov/
provides opportunities for those interested in donating
communications-related expertise or equipment, including laptop or
notebook computers and network construction and maintenance equipment.
For those interested in contributing to those organizations identified by FEMA for support of Katrina relief efforts, they are listed online at http://www.fema.gov/press/2005/katrinadonations.shtm.
Unfortunately, it appears that the magnitude of this disaster will continue to grow in the next few weeks and that recovery will require billions of dollars, enormous relief work by agencies, and the generosity of the entire nation to help our fellow Americans.
Again this year, our
TechLinks Golf Tournament is sold out! 240 golfers – of all skill
levels – will join us on September 12 as we play the Royal New Kent and
Stonehouse courses simultaneously, and then come together for the awards
ceremony and reception.
We would like to take this opporunity to thank Philip Morris for their fifth year sponsoring TechLinks as the Master Sponsor!

Tournament: September 12,
2005
Location: Royal New Kent (10:30 a.m.) and Stonehouse (9:45
a.m.)
Format: Captain's
Choice
Agenda:
Shotgun start; box lunch; plenty of refreshments served on the courses;
