The post title is probably obvious, but I think it bears repeating in this post Katrina New Orleans. At Rising Tide 2 this weekend I was struck by the keynote speaker's mentioning of a lack of after school and summer sports programs in major cities. But what about NORD, I wondered. Aren't they a major well-established city run after school and summer sports program for kids? Apparently NORD has been going strong all summer with arts programs, sports programs and a whole lot more. Anyone can sign their kids up. All ages are welcome. No kid should have to be on the street this summer or after school. And yes I'm sure these programs aren't easy to get into, but nothing is stopping you from helping out. We need to show are support for NORD and to encourage its development so this program that has been around since I was a kid will be around for the foreseeable future.

What's going on here? Why am I posting so much? Today, in honor of Katrina I am attempting another 24 hour 24 post blogathon.
