In response to the tragedy in Haiti NewsgroupDirect will donate all of today’s (Monday 1/18) sales to the American Red Cross. If you have already been planning to make a purchase at NewsgroupDirect then today would be a good day to do that, so that we can maximize the relief that we are able to provide. We encourage all of our existing members to donate to the Red Cross.
Our hearts and thoughts go out to all of the families affected by this tragedy.
