Lindens and Residents helping Katrina's victims in-world together...

To help with all the inspiring in-world Katrina disaster relief benefits going on, Linden Lab staffmembers would like to offer their services and entertainment value for up to a few hours a week to Residents planning or organizing benefit events held on behalf of Katrina's victims-- especially L$-to-US$ fundraisers for established relief organizations working directly to help in the disaster (i.e., American Red Cross), and benefits for Residents directly impacted by Katrina.

Below is the list of Lindens available for at least the next 2-3 weeks (pending continued interest in Katrina events) for 1-4 hours each week, with the activities offered and times/days they're available.

If you'd like to request their attendance at an event you're planning, please IM them in-world directly, describe the event and what's asked of them. (Also give as much advance notice as possible.)
