Ok, everyone, most of you are aware of the horrible situation New
Orleans is in since Hurricane Katrina hit. The disater area size is
90,000 SQUARE MILES, the size of GREAT BRITAIN. So, I've come up
with an idea to help. Simulation Designers Station will be having
donation objects and sets to raise money for the victims of Katrina.
We are asking the community to give donation objects and sets for
RCT1, 2, 3, Zoo Tycoon 1, 2, and Sims 1, 2 (all expansions are
welcome), which ever you design for. All creators are welcome to join
in and help and everyone is welcome to come and download and help
that way, of course! :D Every little bit counts and we can do this!
The proceeds are being sent to The Red Cross. The Site Will be
located at http://katrinarelief.simds.com
We will be putting the downloads up on September 16th and adding new
downloads every day, so you can still make items and send them to us!

The theme for our fundraiser is "Rising From The Ashes: A Tribute To
Those Loved In New Orleans".. We are going Mardi Gras/Festival Style
to celebrate and remember better times. Of course, any other
donation objects/sets are welcome too.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Please feel free to contact me
if you are interested in helping at: aubycentral@... for any
questions, or pm me at the site: Simulation Designers Station:
http://www.simds.com my username there is shan41580

If you are definately able to donate an object or set, please let us
know your name/or username and site name and site url you belong to
so we can add you to the list of creators helping out and make sure
you are properly credited!

I'd also like to mention at this time, the owner of Grim Sims, Domina
is from New Orleans. She was evacuated, but has lost her home and all
her possessions. So, this is also in honor of her
and our other friends there.

I need definate commitments here. I believe we can make this happen.
