UCS Katrina
Fund Nears
$30,000
The UCS Katrina Courts and
Families Recovery Fund has raised
almost $30,000 to assist Gulf
Coast court personnel and their families
and aid in the efforts to restore the
court system in the affected areas.
Deeply moved by the devastation
in the Gulf Coast region, UCS court
employees instantly made the recovery
fund a "court family" project. Literally
within minutes of the UCS call
for assistance, phone calls and emails
poured in from employees
around the state, requesting information
on how to help.
Although the fund accepts only
monetary contributions, many
employees wanted to help beyond
giving money. Some networked informally
to find Hurricane Katrina related
donation centers for food, clothing
and other essential items. Others selflessly
volunteered their time and talents
and visited the region to provide
project-specific assistance. Numerous
employees offered suggestions on
how best to assist their Gulf Coast
court community colleagues.
For more information about the
fund, contact Barry Clarke at 212-428-2127 or bclarke@courts.state.ny.us
