Debra Cowan is an accomplished folk singer that I play regularly on Festival Radio. Today, she posted this to the Folk DJ List:
Laurel Paulson-Pierce hosts “Crossroads” on KRBS out of
Oroville, CA. Whilst helping to fight fires in the Concow area
of Butte County (where she also lives) her own house was totally
destroyed in these fires. Thankfully, she was able to save her
CDs and some other possessions, but the house itself is a total
loss.The Mudcat Cafe <http://www.mudcat.org/threads.cfm> hosts
auctions to raise funds and several of us have donated items on
which you can bid. Please take a look at these items and
consider helping out Laurel. The link to the Mudcat Auction is
at <http://www.mudcat.org/auction/threads.cfm>I have known Laurel for almost 25 years and not only does she
volunteer at KRBS, but is also involved in the Butte Folk Music
Society in Chico. She gives and has given pretty selflessly over
the years to helping put on folk music events in Butte County.
If anyone would like to make a straight donation to help out,
you can do this by sending a check or postal money order to:Mike Doellman
PO Box 4905
Pocatello, ID 83205-4905Whether check or PMO, please make it out to Mike and perhaps
attach a post-it note with the name Laurel on it so Mike knows
what it’s for.Thanks for helping if you can.
Best,
Debra Cowan
