Support Ribbon Lapel Pin? 10/3/2001 FDNY T-Shirt Fund Raiser. From: George J. Magdal GMagdal@HOPKINSmn.com We are participating in a T-shirts sales program to raise money for The New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund. The same supplier who does the Minneapolis FD uniform T-shirts has created a design with a Maltese Cross which includes 9-11-01 on the front and "FDNY" - "United We Stand" on the back. The look is similar to the dark blue uniform shirts we've been watching on TV the last few weeks but changed to be an obvious tribute to FDNY. We know these shirts will be available at most Minneapolis Fire Stations and at the Hopkins FD Open House on 10/13/01. There are also two local health clubs that will be selling shirts. If you wish to participate in this fund-raiser you can contact Minneapolis/Hopkins Fire Fighter Julie Caouette at: redjj2@yahoo.com or (952)933-5120 She will provide you a small number of shirts to start. Some Large and X-Large are available now. You can order extra shirts prior to your open house or take orders during it. A T-shirt order form or sign up sheet for future delivery will be provided. T-shirt requests will be filled within a week and sent to you to distribute. All proceeds will go to The New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund. *Cost per shirt to produce - $8.25 10/3/2001 We have received several requests for information and resources to help children and teens deal with the World Trade Center tragedy. We have set up a page to list resources that may be of help. Children & Tragedy.htm 09/22/2001 Urban Legends area added to Useful Links. The best part of the internet is the ease of finding information. The downside is that all information is not accurate.

Kranats,President of the International Association of Arson Investigators issues a message to the membership on terrorism. "...As a country, now it is time for us to act; we have mourned, and now it is time for all of us to make a difference. This is not the time to point fingers, but it is a time to concentrate on the things that bring us together, rather than the things that tear us apart. . . Our fallen brethren and America deserve nothing less...." Read the entire text and find out how we can make a difference. 09/17/2001 Touching Graphic of American Eagle with a tear in his eye.
