“Continuity Cares” Volunteer Rebuilding Program names Ralph Petti as Project Manager to raise funding to rebuild homes in the New Orleans area
New Orleans still needs of all the good that everyone can do! As the entire Gulf Region continues its recovery efforts from Hurricane Katrina, there is still much left to accomplish and your continuing support is much needed and very much appreciated.
Ralph Petti, President of RP Risk Advisors, located in Basking Ridge, NJ has been named as the Project Manager for this event based on his familiarity with the Gulf Region’s needs and his twenty-four years of involvement in the Disaster Recovery industry. “Continuity Cares is an event that will help to attract individuals and corporations with a spirit of helping to continue the rebuilding of this great area”, Petti said. “With the leadership of Continuity Insights magazine, we expect a terrific response.” Continuity Cares will be held on May 8-9, 2008.
In 2007, dozens of attendees from the Continuity Insights Management Conference devoted their time and labor on various volunteer efforts after the conference. These projects included the clean-up and repainting of a city firehouse in New Orleans East, a bookroom at Lake Castle School, and the rebuilding of a cancer victim's residence. Any lack of construction experience by the volunteers was certainly no match for their desire to make a difference.
In 2008, Continuity Insights magazine will again be coordinating with the New Orleans City Fire Department, along with the New Orleans Recovery School District, to identify worthy and appropriate volunteer projects to embrace.
