Hurricane Ike Closure and Recovery

Hello Friends,

I hope you all have weathered the storm safely, and that your homes and businesses are all intact. If not, I wish you a speedy recovery. Most of us probably have evacuated to part farther inland during the storm, and are monitoring the recovery efforts closely. My kids and I are staying in College Station for the time being, and we expect to be here for at least a few more days.

I spoke with Ms. Laurie this evening, who stayed in her house in Webster through the storm. She said it was very scary, but that they have power back tonight in her neighborhood. Neither of us had been able to contact Ms. Margo by phone, but Laurie went by the studio today and saw that it suffered some damage in the storm where the roof leaked in the back. She spoke with Ms. Margo in person, and the studio is still without power and cannot reopen until after an insurance adjuster is able to view the damage and we can get it cleaned up and repaired. We will keep you posted as to when lessons and classes will resume.

Cellular service has been spotty, as I'm sure most of you know, but I have internet access here, and will post updates on the mailing list and website as I get them. You can try to reach me on my cell at 713-306-4023, or Ms. Margo at 713-560-9322. If you're unable to get an answer, just leave a message and hopefully we'll be able to contact you soon.

Wishing you all a safe trip home and a speedy, easy recovery from the storm.

Sincerely,
Ms. Tabby
