Today the cleanup continues from Hurricane Floyd. Nothing less than the worst disaster in the history of North Carolina. 1000s of our people have lost their homes, their without power, phones, and drinking water. We've seen farms underwater, businesses shut down, schools closed. We're throwing everything we have into rescue and relief, and it stretched us to the limit. That's why I'm appealing to you today to please send a tax deductible donation to the Hurricane Floyd Relief Fund. Get information by calling 1-888-835-9966 You know, East Carolina University enjoys a special relationship with its fans. The people hit hardest by Floyd. But pirates are ready to give something back, especially to help all of our students stay in school. In the coming months, we've got to all pitch in to get eastern North Carolina back on its feet. Please help by sending money to the relief fund. We can do it. Thank you and God bless you.
