Sandy: How to Help

It's been a tough week on the East Coast. The loss of life and destruction following the storm is absolutely devastating; the compassion and kindness that so many have shown is incredibly uplifting.

These are tons of ways to contribute to the relief efforts.  These are just a few:

• Donate to the American Red Cross.
• Join the volunteer efforts in New York City.
• Contribute to The Humane Society's efforts to rescue and care for animals affected by the storm.
• Share these guidelines with members of the arts community who are working to restore damaged works. 

Times like this serve as a powerful reminder of how fragile life can be -- and how important it is to appreciate it.
