The rest of the saga:
Hi Vinmoto-ers,
A few of us are setting up a Hurricane Sandy relief collection at the swap
meet this weekend at Motorgrrl in Brooklyn. I've been down in the Rockaways
a couple of times since the storm doing cleanup work and it is truly
heartbreaking. Helping clear out a stranger's entire life including photo
albums, drawers of undershirts, christmas decorations, and tape collections
is one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I can't imagine
what these people are going through and I count myself supremely lucky that
I made it through the storm in the clear.

The little group of us who make up the planning committee for the August
show have been working together to do our part in getting money and aid down
to the people who need it most. While what's really needed is able bodies
willing to wade through floodwater, we're also raising money to go 100%
directly to victims of the storm. That's right, *100%* of your money will
be spent on things like generators, contractor bags, shovels, batteries, and
bleach. Not marketing, not bullshit, just aid.

*HOW TO DONATE:
*
- Go to NYCVMS.org
http://nycvms.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/donate-to-hurricane-sandy-relief/
and click the paypal button on the top left that says DONATE TO HURRICANE
SANDY RELIEF. Enter your donation, nothing is too big or too small, and
boom it goes right to us so we can get it to the people who need it most.
As of now, most of that aid will be going to the Rockaways because that's
where many of us have friends and family. If any members are doing work in
Staten Island, Jersey, or the effected parts of the city and Brooklyn and
need cash, let us know. We'll get it to you

- Come to the swap meet at motorgrrl and throw in to the hat. Checks are
fine, cash is better, we might even be able to take cards if the little
paypal dongle thingie gets here in time. We'll have a collection going...
assuming you don't blow all your spending money on that neat set of 4into1
Pipes for sweet cafe CB. I can also help you find volunteer opportunities
as well.*

VOLUNTEERING NEEDS IN ROCKAWAY*
- Veggie Island/Rockaway Taco on Beach 96th street and Rockaway Beach Blvd
and The RB Surf Club on Beach 87th and Rockaway Freeway have turned into
imprompty volunteer centers. Head down there but bring your own gear like
shovels and masks and gloves. The best work is being done by people going
house to house and just volunteering to help
- Doctors with the ability to write scripts are in major need down there.
If anybody knows any please put them in touch with me!
