Haiti Relief Telethon

Here’s a chance to help out with the situation in Haiti.  RSL rookie Jean Alexandre is from Haiti, and currently has a couple of family members missing, including his father.  If you can donate, please do so.  If you would like to help man the phones, they are looking for volunteers who can help out in 1, 2 or 4-hour blocks.  If you would like to participate please email Trey Fitz-Gerald @ tfitz@realsaltlake.com letting him know when and for how long you can assist.
