Rugman.com's donations aid in the ongoing recovery effort put forth by the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund.

KATRINA SURVIVORS: A LESSON IN HUMAN RESILIENCY

The inner strength of Hurricane Katrina's survivors is the foundation for all the relief efforts in the Gulf. All you have to do is Google the words "Human Resiliency" and stories of the Katrina Survivors come up. The financial support required in such a massive recovery effort is critical and necessary over the long-haul. In celebration of Presidents' Day, during the week of February 19th - 25th Rugman.com donated 5% of all sales to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund (BCKF).

Rugman.com received a thank you letter from the Bush-Clinton fund for all the effort and support:

"...On behalf of former Presidents George H.W. Bush and William J. Clinton, we want to express our appreciation to Rugman.com for your donation of $7,464.24 on April 23, 2007 to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund.

Thousands of generous people like you from around the world are making it possible for us to help the residents of the ravaged Gulf States recover and rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.

Your donation reflects fundamental values of community, compassion and responsibility. We are grateful and honored that you have entrusted us with your contribution and will do all we can to assure that it is used widely and effectively. Please share our thanks to all of your employees and customers who made this possible during your special President's Day event.

Sincerely,
Constance B. Newman
Executive Director
