From Scout:

I want to thank you wonderful First Drafters. We have reached the fund raising goal for the trip to New Orleans in less than 24 hours. A huge warm Thank You for your contributions which will make this possible. You guys are the greatest!

I’ll be arriving in NOLA on August 23rd and staying until August 31st. There is a NOLA bloggers conference the weekend before the anniversary which I’ll be attending. It is called the Rising Tide Conference. Go here for info If you are in the area do come!

I plan to go to the areas I was at in March and see the extent of any progress. I will have videos and interviews. I also will attend commemorative events and will bring reports on those. And starting later this week I will be doing anniversary posts.

Again Thank You!!!
