Hi all, 

    As many of you know, the earthquake measuring in 7.4 magnitude
shattered Izmit of Turkey two weeks ago. At around 11am yesterday, a 5.2
earthquake struck the region again with a 4.6 aftershock. As of today,
the death toll is 14,000 and more than 200,000 are homeless.  
    
    Many different organizations in the world are raising relief aid to
provide medical supplies and care packages to provide food and shelter
for victims in Turkey. An effort is being made here at CMU to collect
donation via Circle-K and Anadolu (the Turkish Student Organization).
You may make a donation with cash, spare change or check at the tables
in front of Doherty Hall and Kirr Commons from 10am - 2pm on this
Thursday and Friday. Receipts will be given upon request to confirm your
contribution is tax-deductible. A list of institutions to which money
will be donated is available upon request. Please contact Circle-K
representative or email:

    circlek@andrew.cmu.edu.

    A photography show by Kathy Newman is opening on next Tuesday to
raise funds at the Kiva Han Cafe. These photo are on sale and will
proceed to donation for the victims in Turkey. The details are listed
below. Bring a
friend to go enjoy a cup of coffee and admire photographs taken in
Turkey if you enjoy photography.

    I personally thank you for reading this message and wish that you
may participate in helping the survivors of the tremendous disasters in
Western Turkey. Please make a contribution by donation or take a part in
different relief projects. Our efforts may be small but I am sure it can
still provide a bit of care for the unfortunate victims. Spread the news
to your friends and join our effort. Every little bit helps. All future
relief initiatives, however small, shall be anticipated and appreciated.
I welcome all ideas/questions/comments/concerns.

Thank you!
