Hurricane Katrina has devastated several states. The full extent of the damage is still not known but the need is urgent. Because it is impossible to know the full extent of the damage, at the present time, the responses to the appeal will be divided equally between the Grand Lodges of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. (There is also a separate appeal out for Florida as well.)
Specific gifts will go to the Grand Lodge that is designated. Undesignated gifts will be divided with one third going to Louisiana, one third Mississippi and one third to Alabama.
All contributions, in whatever amount, from Grand Lodges, Lodges, Individuals, or Appendant Masonic Bodies will be acknowledged by MSA with most grateful thanks.
Checks may be sent to:
MSA Disaster Relief Fund

If you wish to donate online via credit card, the Philalethes Society has announced that it is collecting donations on behalf of the Masonic Service Association of North America for Hurricane Katrina Relief.

The Masonic Service Association of North America does not have the ability to collect donations by Credit Card, and so the Philalethes Society has stepped up and volunteered to handle the donation collections for them.
