DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends:\n\nA large and enthusiastic group of volunteers accomplished 
 a huge amount on Saturday organizing the pallets of medical supplies at the 
 Alalusi Foundation.  The work was hard, but it felt great to realize how 
 our labor will translate directly into real medical relief for the citizens 
 of Iraq. We, as well as the foundation, want to let you know how much we 
 appreciate the enormous effort.  Much was achieved, but there is more to be 
 done!  \n\nSo – please mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct 4th and 
 perhaps Sunday, from 9-5 at the warehouse in Hayward.  We encourage all of 
 you to invite your friends – we discovered on Saturday that anyone can be 
 of help (although medical knowledge is a plus), and ideally we need about 
 70 people to participate.  We also found that it is extremely useful to 
 have some people with respiratory, operating room, or intensive care 
 backgrounds.\n\nWe do need to know how many people are coming so that 
 arrangements (lunch, carpooling, etc.) can be made for the expected 
 turnout, so please RSVP by email to Dan Lowenstein at 
 lowenstein@medsch.ucsf.edu.   Let him know which day you (and friends) are 
 coming – he will email everyone on Saturday night to verify whether we 
 are still on for Sunday (likely).\n\nTo get a flavor of what the scene was 
 like, please check out the photos posted by Cleavon Gilman at:\n
