Hi Becky,

First, let me thank you again for this effort on our behalf. FACRL members were extremely generous, and we are grateful that they reached out. We're finding odd supplies that are helpful, so we'll put this to good use.

While things are improving, progress is slow. All the more reason we really appreciate being in your thoughts.

*         Staff have Abatix cardboard instead of carpet throughout their offices, and a few don't have sheet rock, because mold was growing. We'll be like this for a while: we're a low priority because there are offices and classrooms that are still being rebuilt.

*         Even as I write this, I'm watching workers right a large, double-decker casino boat<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mypanhandle.com_news_salvage-2Dcrews-2Dto-2Dremove-2Dgrounded-2Dship-2Dtuesday_1714075331&d=DwIFAg&c=HPMtquzZjKY31rtkyGRFnQ&r=ErNLMQvDS5BZrIZeelL-Nylx-JsCfC_BTnGrpOVKn70&m=KSgXhwYeh0b5u2BWMNfOea-iXnpIG6Zfu3B_w88BoN0&s=743kvOQWOO0fF_g5w8hcfvInjjhf8OUTtEwM5sHitzA&e=> which was blown several miles from its moorings and grounded outside our windows in the bay.

*         And as the local news reported just a couple days ago, "It's been more than three months since Hurricane Michael and there are still people living in homes that are as damaged as they were when the storm hit."<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mypanhandle.com_news_tenants-2Dliving-2Dunder-2Dleaking-2Droofs-2Dno-2Dpower-2Dclaiming-2Dlandlord-2Dwon-2Dt-2Dmake-2Drepairs_1714369882&d=DwIFAg&c=HPMtquzZjKY31rtkyGRFnQ&r=ErNLMQvDS5BZrIZeelL-Nylx-JsCfC_BTnGrpOVKn70&m=KSgXhwYeh0b5u2BWMNfOea-iXnpIG6Zfu3B_w88BoN0&s=UBDo9C1CTGeIRfjJFhPqZZaLvtwnpo3Mxw60IU95-Q8&e=>

Regarding to whom to address the check (GCSC or GCSC Foundation), I am awaiting direction from our comptroller. I'll be in touch!

Dear Lori, Vikki, and Shaun,

On behalf of the Florida Association of College & Research Libraries, I'm contacting you to let you know that our Hurricane Michael relief campaign has come to a close, and we would like to divide the proceeds equally among your three libraries to do with as you see best fit.  The proceeds will be $500 for each institution.

Our treasurer, Suzette Spencer, will be happy to disburse the funds to you in check or via PayPal, whichever is easiest for you.  Would you kindly respond to both of us to let us know how you'd like us to get the funds to you?  Suzette is sspencer at broward.edu<mailto:sspencer at broward.edu> and I'm rdonlan at fgcu.edu<mailto:rdonlan at fgcu.edu>.

We hope that this amount, though small, will be of some aid to you and your staffs as you continue to rebuild after the devastation of last year.  Please know that your colleagues in FACRL are thinking of you and are ready to help you in other ways-please just let us know how we can be of service.

With my best wishes-

Becky
