Jasper/Newton aid group formed

November 28, 2005

Citizens Organized for Rita Relief (CORR) held their second
organizational meeting November 22, 2005 in the conference
room of Believers New Life Ministries International in
Bleakwood. This group of local pastors, non-profit
organizations, public officials and school administrators has
formed to coordinate a united and dedicated coalition to provide
a central point of intake and referral for people who suffered
damage as a result of Hurricane Rita. CORR will provide focus
and generate support of local agencies to provide housing,
health care, and other services necessary to recover from the
devastating aftermath of Hurricane Rita.

CORR has established an intake center at 107 Court Street in
downtown Newton. People who have needs that will not be covered
by insurance or FEMA should call (409) 379-4663 or come by the
office of Self Help Housing of East Texas to apply for
assistance. They will open a second office in Kirbyville in
the near future for Jasper residents.

CORR will solicit funds and support from private foundations,
corporate donors, and private individuals, to support the efforts
of the Mennonite volunteers and other groups who will help repair
and rebuild damaged homes. They will also make referrals to East
Texas Health Access Network for medical care.

CORR will address the UNMET needs of citizens of Newton and
Jasper County. If you have resources available to meet your
needs, please do not apply.

The Board of Directors of CORR consists of: Associate Pastor
Alton Scott, Rev. Ted Williams, Lee Holbert, Rev. L.D. Matthews,
Rev. Joe Miller, Linda Dickerson, Commissioner Willie Stark,
and Superintendent Gene Isabell.
