In response to "help" in NYC.  The Masons are one group I can definitly
vouch for. Yesterday a brother in my lodge arranged for 1000 sweatsuits and
pairs of socks to be delivered on Monday to "ground zero" from the NY
Masons.

There was a note attached to this announcement that the Deputy Grand Master,
RW Carl Fitje's son in law is a missing NYC fireman.

Not getting any better there.
