Our thoughts and prayers are with all those living in the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern Unites States who have been severely affected by Hurricane Sandy. We may not be in the eye of the storm but our hearts and minds turn to you, your family members and your communities in this your time of need. We pray for your safety, expedited humanitarian efforts to relieve your suffering, and restoration of all that you have lost during this catastrophe. In addition, we would like to thank the responders and agencies, for example, FEMA and the American Red Cross, for their relief efforts. We ask that all ABNF members support these relief efforts in any way they possibly can, such as with monetary contributions and other acts of good will. Lastly, we ask those who have been affected to be encouraged and full of good hope.
