new orleans

Amanda and I (and hopefully Nicole) will be attending a conference in New Orleans during mid-November. The conference is titled Rebuild the Gulf Coast, Rebuild America. The point of us attending is hopefully to gain insight about the current situation and how we would be able to help from up here in New York. There is also the possibility of attending some sort of service trip in the spring to help with the hurricane relief. I am really excited and think it is not only an excellent opportunity to help others but to travel to some place I have never been and hopefully get a change to experience some of the culture.
