BULLETIN BOARD AVAILABLE TO ASSIST
WITH INFORMATION DURING KATRINA RECOVERY EFFORTS

New York, NY - An online bulletin board is now available through the web
site of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America to assist with
information in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  While recovery efforts
continue, many are seeking information on family members, parishioners, and
conditions of homes, neighborhoods, churches, and communities.

In cooperation with the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta, the
Archdiocese is providing this bulletin board service to help those
displaced by the disaster share information they may have or need.  The
bulletin board is available at www.forums.goarch.org.  Sections are
provided for general information, conditions of parishes, and locating
family and friends in the areas hit hardest by the storm.

For those that do not have Internet access and have information they need
or would like to share, the Metropolis of Atlanta is serving as a contact
center.  The Metropolis can be reached at 404-634-9345.

For more information on the relief efforts following this disaster and how
individuals and parishes can help, visit the Archdiocese website at
