Gregoire establishes KATRINA fund
Governor Gregoire has established "Washington Cares" a dedicated fund for
Washingtonians to support relief efforts in the Gulf Coast through the
American Red Cross.

Washington Mutual Bank is host to this dedicated account - 100[%] of the
money raised is going to the American Red Cross. Washington Mutual has
generously offered to match all bank employees' contributions to this
account as well as match the first $100,000 contributed by Washington
citizens.

Starting next Tuesday Governor Gregoire plans to promote Washington Cares
to all state employees and to the general public.

Governor Gregoire is asking us to help her kick start this campaign by;

1. Making a (tax-deductible) donation to "Washington Cares" - Checks
will be accepted at all Washington Mutual braches beginning tomorrow.

2. Helping her identify community and corporate partners for Washington
Cares - Companies that will encourage their employees to give or even
companies like Washington Mutual that will match employee contributions.

3. Contact your friends and family to encourage them to participate in
Washington Cares.

Thank you.

An online payment facility will be provided soon.
