The company I work for is matching donations to the American Red Cross
...for hurricane relief.

Be sure you ask your employer if they can do this too.

1. that's good.....
The Red Cross had enough to start in on dealing with the crisis but now we need to all kick in and help, even if it's just a few bucks, or some blood....

6. Our HR dept sent out emails yesterday...
...they'll be collecting for the Red Cross, and the company will match at 150%! (They did the same thing immediately after 9/11).

I love my job.

7. Just got the email from HR today...
My company is as well. That's awesome, as I was going to donate, but now I am going to donate even more, knowing the amount will be doubled! I live in south Florida, and they were also very generous during last hurricane season, when most of their employees were without power for weeks and a good number lost their homes. Paid everyone while they were out of work, and also gave everyone an emergency bonus.
