The Phoenix Online - Community rallies to fundraise, rebuild for Katrina victims: "Community rallies to fundraise, rebuild for Katrina victims
BY BLANCA GAMEZ
Swarthmore faculty and students are continuing to support the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts through a recent Mardi Gras beads fundraiser and a service trip to New Orleans set for Spring Break.
Over the past two weeks, McCabe librarians have directed the Mardi Gras beads fundraiser to benefit the Southern University of New Orleans (SUNO) library, their partner library in the Adopt-A-Library program. At $1 a strand, revenue from the Mardi Gras beads sales totaled nearly $800. The beads were on sale at the bookstore, libraries and coffee bars across campus. In addition, members of the Directed Relief Committee are in the process of organizing a group of students to help ongoing cleanup efforts in parts of New Orleans afflicted by the storm."
