All of us want to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Together we can make a difference in helping our friends and colleagues.

The Salon People is pleased to announce the creation of The Salon and Spa Relief Fund, a non-profit organization*, set up to help salon and spa owners rebuild their teams' lives and their businesses.

AVEDA has already committed $100,000 to this fund and many salons and spas have begun hosting fund-raising events, raising thousands of dollars.

Organize Fund-raising Events.
Cut-a-thons. Donate Tips or Profits from a Day.
Allow your clients to contribute, too, by having a Donations Jar or allowing them to add dollars to their ticket when checking out.

Donations to this fund can be sent to:
The Salon and Spa Relief Fund

Neill Corporation
P.O. Drawer 729
Hammond, LA 70404
or call 1-888-634-5570 x1249

Salons and spas with positions available, and employees who need employment can enroll online, or call 1-888-634-5570 x1249.

Please pass this information on, especially to those who are in need of help.

Thank you for caring.

Sincerely,
Tom Petrillo
