The City of Austin is about to open the Palmer Center and the Convention 
Center for Hurricane Katrina refugees.  The Burger Center is already in use 
for this purpose as you probably know.  The computer banks are now being 
installed in the Palmer and Convention Centers and the refugees will be 
arriving soon.

They need volunteers to help these folks put their information into a web 
site that is tracking the refugees so that their loved ones can find them 
and vice versa.  Many of the refugees have no computer skills.  If you can 
volunteer any of your time and skills to help out, please e-mail:

Eric will e-mail you back to let you know when you will be needed.
