Help Haiti locally

From Karen Schoemer, a great music writer based in Columbia County, a way to help earthquake victims via a trusted local source:

“Carline Murphy runs the Haitian Community Development Project in Hudson, NY. She is working to fill a 40-foot container with supplies to go directly to friends and relatives in Haiti. Monetary donations can be sent to HCDP, PO Box 35, Niverville NY 12130.”
