You can count the Keenan Group in too. We will also offer pro bono services with quick turnaround on draft materials. In addition, my staff will offer graphic design consult free of charge for agencies serving people impacted by Katrina. I don't know who to contact, but am most willing to roll up my sleeves to pitch in. Best, Jann Jann Keenan, Ed.S.

Based on the NALS survey, it is clear that many thousands of victims, who have limited literacy skills, will have to cope with complex and hastily designed instructions on how to get aid in many forms. Would it make sense to offer our services gratis to the many helping agencies to assist them to design their emergency instructions and forms so they are more understandable? (I know that Ceci and I would be willing to give same-day e-mail turn around to any draft material that is to help with their services.) What do you think? Who should be contacted? best wishes, Len and Ceci Doak
