News from Bill: He says they have been truly blessed and that he cannot believe the
generosity of all the people who have helped. He says that they have plenty right now and still have to go through a lot of things!
Bill is a financial consultant and had his office at home! He is in great need of a up-to-date computer for business, printer,
office supplies, etc.! Bill will let us know about any other specific things they might need.

Bill Harmon and his family lost their home in a fire on Tuesday, Feb 16.
Bill's son Trevor was at home and escaped with burns on his hands and feet. They lost four dogs to the fire.
Bill is a black belt at CMAC and a good friend of Sensei Kevin, so we're appealing to all members of the dojo
to help them through this difficult time with donations of clothing, furniture, toiletries, gift certificates and money.
For more information, please see the appeal from Sensei Kevin. Thanks for your help!
