GULF COAST DISASTER RELIEF GALLERY LAUNCHED
The recent tragedy on the Gulf Coast hit close to home for my wife and I. We grew up on the Coast and my wife still has a lot of family there. When I learned of the “Gulf Coast Disaster Relief Gallery” I was deeply touched. Through this effort, photographers are donating images for sale to generate funds for the relief effort. I feel it is an absolutely wonderful idea. I have submitted three images that I took on the coast just a couple years ago. I sincerely hope you will share this gallery with your friends and please consider contributing images. I have seen some of the work of our customers and I know it would add greatly to the value of this relief gallery. Below is a copy of the press release announcing the gallery and I have included instructions on how to submit work I know this is not typical Frame Destination Newsletter and I sincerely hope you do not consider this email to be an abuse of the permission you have granted.
Sincerely,
Mark Rogers

GULF COAST DISASTER RELIEF GALLERY LAUNCHED
Toms River, NJ September 2, 2005 – The cliché says that a picture is worth 1000 words. Today, pictures will begin to be worth thousands of dollars with the opening of the Gulf Coast Disaster Relief Gallery.
A nationwide group of fine art photographers has banded together to raise funds for Gulf Coast disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Their goal is to offer a visual and tangible incentive for donating to the relief effort. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross.
The gallery is an Internet based presentation located at: the following URL: www.explodingeye.com/disaster.html Original images by these talented photographers are now available for viewing on-line or sharing via email. All images are offered as print only in 8x10 or 8x12 sizes. Contributors can select the image or images of their choice with each of them available for a purchase/contribution price of $25.00 with free shipping.
Each of the individual photographer/artists is absorbing the production and shipping costs to fulfill these orders. 100% of the funds will be donated to the American Red Cross.
