After The Fire Storm - Tea Fire Update
November 18, 2008
Needless to say, it was a long weekend here in Santa Barbara. The Tea Fire that started on Thursday evening and blazed though hundreds of acres and homes continued to rear its ugly head. Luckily, the wind died down on Saturday, which helped the firefighters get control of a very disastrous situation. We are lucky as an office to have all retained our homes, one merely missing the blaze by one house! This morning in the office we all checked in with one another to make sure that everyone was okay. Stories of friends and family that were affected were told as we collectively mourned for those that have lost everything. Even though no Toads had a house destroyed in this fire, we are all part of this community and feel a loss.
For now, we hope to help ease the pain of the 200+ families that lost homes by donating clothing from the Toad – ‘cuz that’s one thing we know we are good at. Beyond that, we hope to help out with food and help cleaning up the wreckage left behind by the flames.
If you would like to help, please donate to the Red Cross. As we get information on more locally driven fundraisers, I will publish them ASAP for anyone that wants to help.
Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.
The Toads

Welcome to the Horny Toad Community. This is where you get to tell us what Every Day Is An Adventure means to you. The best part is that you will help define what the Toad Community becomes. So let us know what you think, check out an event in your area, or just sit back and laugh a little. The idea is to have fun!
