Friends and fans of Emmylou Harris have found a way to honor her in
a meaningful way – through donations to The HSUS's Disaster Services
program. Your support will help in the rescue, care and placement of
animals displaced by disaster. This may include search and rescue
operations, care for animals at temporary shelters, and, when
necessary, the relocation of animals for adoption.
They'll accept donations to the Keeta Fund through Emmylou's birthday
on April 2, 2007. Help make Emmylou's 60th birthday a truly special
occasion – for her, and for the animals! Thank you so much.
