[Clement, Patti]

Hello Gothamites

Below is a note from my daughter Krista who is involved with
Sustainable International Development, regarding how to help out with
the Haiti crisis that I wanted to share.

 

May we keep the people of Haiti closely in our thoughts and prayers.

 

Best regards,

 

*Patti
