Special Bulletin:
Grenada Hurricane Relief Foundation is Now Gathering Resources
Hurricane Ivan hit Grenada on September 7 causing total destruction
to the small Caribbean nation. Grenada received the worst of Ivan’s
fury. The damage was unprecedented in the history of the nation. With
a population est. of 89,000, it is estimated that 60,000 people are
homeless. Nine out of every ten structures was severely damaged or dest-
royed. To date, drinking water and power have not been restored, and it
is estimated that schools will not re-open for 6 months to one year.
Without adequate food, water, housing, and schools, Grenada will soon
become the next South Africa, Somalia, or Haiti or worse. The current
government administration has a long track record of corruption. That
is why we are organizing a grass-roots effort to ensure that the people
receive the support they need. Economic recovery will be painstakingly
slow, particularly for the poor and un-represented. Of the 89,000
inhabitants, there are an estimated 20,000 Rasta brothers and sisters
living on the island. We are asking for your help, contributions, and
donations to bring food and supplies to the needy and to re-build housing
for the poor and infirm, as well as the schools and community centers.
The Grenada Hurricane Relief Foundation will be established as a
non-profit organization with full transparency and accountability.
Call or email now to Pledge:
(530) 887-1433 (U.S.), or Email
Once the organization is set up, those who have pledged
will be contacted, and thank you so much for your support.
Say you heard of us from the Reggae Festival E-Guide.

Marketing Your Reggae Biz Tidbit
Create your "About Us" Page on your website right the first time
(4 of 4 Tips)
By Mario Sanchez
Some Implementation Details
If the information in your "About Us" takes too much
space and makes your text too long, you can always split
it among several pages (you will then have an "About Us"
section instead of just a page). If you do so, create
a small menu of options that apply only to your "About Us"
section. The links in that menu can be called: Our People,
Our Business, Portfolio, Customers, Community, Privacy, etc.
The best location to place this menu is on a column to the
right of the page, since usually the left column or the top
of the page are reserved for the main navigation menu of
the site. Finally, a link to your "About Us" page must be
present in your homepage (it doesn't have to be in the most
prominent location or in your main navigation menu, but it
has to be visible and easily accessible).
Summary
On the web, it is very difficult to determine if a company
is good and reputable. One way to help prospective customers
know that they can trust your business is through a good
"About Us" page. A good "About Us" page must answer the most
common questions prospective customers are likely to ask
themselves to determine if they should give you their trust.
Your "About Us" page should be easily accessible through a
link in your homepage.
