As you may know, one of our classmates, Merry Snyder Walsh is living on the Island of Maui and was impacted by the recent floods.  She is working hard to help her neighbors rebuild.  The message below is directly from her.

From Merry:  "There is a fund called People’s Fund of Maui, started by Oprah and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, with input from the local people here. They are giving all the money directly to survivors who have lost their homes in Lahaina, in the form of checks for $1200 per month. Oprah is the target of a hate and misinformation campaign online, but she is doing so much for Maui right now. The other good fund is the Maui Strong Fund. Folks can Google them. Every little bit helps. I am doing fine. Got my yard cleaned up and roof repaired already."
