Culled from news items: a list of help resources for the Chapman tornado, viz.
Salina, Kansas: Green Lantern convenience stores in concert with four other local companies are pledging to match contributions from the community. The fund drive, which includes matching funds from Great Plains Manufacturing, Green Lantern, Solomon Corporation, Salina Vortex and Pepsi Bottling of
Salina, will match public donations up to a total of $37,500, said Bud DeArvil, director of sales and service for Green Lantern. This challenge, DeArvil said, is a way for local people to double the value of their donation; if the public donates $37,500, a total of $75,000 will go to the Chapman Sc
hool District and the city of Chapman to help with rebuilding efforts. Donations will be accepted at the three Green Lantern stores in Salina between today and Aug. 3. "Whatever benefit you people can come up with, we will throw full suport around it with our Rocking M Radio Stations, 3 in Salina a
