Jo Carson, a founding member of Alternate ROOTS, is in the midst of a pitched battle with colon cancer.

Jo has been a self-supporting artist for more than 30 years.  Since quality, affordable health insurance is extremely difficult for independent artists to obtain, the insurance coverage Jo has is utterly insufficient to her current need – her policy will cover her surgery, but not the extensive chemotherapy and radiation she is currently under-going.

You can help by making a donation through ROOTS to Jo's Medical Expenses Campaign.  Please click here to make that important contribution.

Donate Air Miles to ROOTS

Hello ROOTERS,

If you attended the Annual Meeting, you may remember that among other suggestions that could help ROOTS, we suggested that members could donate frequent flyer miles. This would allow us to do the necessary travel to raise funds for programs and services, and save money in our budget!

Please contact us at the office if you or someone you know has extra miles you'd like to share.

Thanks for your continued support. 

New Orleans ROOTS Website Training

I will be in New Orlean's between the 21st and the 27th, but my time there is already filling up, so we kind of need to really get clear on how this is going to get organized and I need help from folks.

Here is what needs done:

1.  We need to get a venue for the training with WiFi and maybe 20 or so places for people to sit.

2.  We need for someone on the ground in NOLA to set up a time for this, and to fill the room with warm bodies. 

If people start chiming in and sending contact emails to me, then I can also take on some of this organizing.

Thanks, people.  As always, you can comment directly here by clicking the 'add new comment' link below.

As a principal port, New

As a principal port, New Orleans played a major role during the antebellum era in the Atlantic slave trade.It's best to have search engine optimization team.I am really interested in and I also suggested you and I really in need of such things. Its port handled huge quantities of commodities for export from the interior and imported goods from other countries, which were warehoused and then transferred in New Orleans to smaller vessels and distributed the length and breadth of the vast Mississippi River watershed.I am really happy that I have web designer but I always interested in high quality things.The river in front of the city was filled with steamboats, flatboats, and sailing ships. Despite its dealings with the slave trade,I am new to affordable web hosting but i think it will really work for me. New Orleans at the same time had the largest and most prosperous community of free persons of color in the nation, who were often educated and middle-class property owners
