Krewe of Oak 2006 - "Gimme Shelter"
Krewe of Oak just rolled, and summer almost feels normal now. NOMRF founders are back in New Orleans getting ready for the Anti-Versary Monday and Tuesday. Our Krewe went as Sliver by the River Med Givers with rolling libations. Cheers.

We just returned from three weeks that included a tornado blocks away, passing along donated instruments, giving out grants and just being home. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
