Hurricane Katrina: A Message from Enrico Garzaroli

The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina is heartbreaking, and our hearts are with those struggling in the aftermath of this disaster. This is a tragedy of gigantic proportions, a tragedy that will impact the world in ways we can't even begin to fathom right now. However, as we all know, offering sympathy is not enough. All of us at Graycliff are asking our many friends to do as we are doing, donate to one of the fine organizations that are helping hurricane victims, and to also think of creative ways to raise funds, contribute services and rally help in this time of need.

Cigars For Relief
At Graycliff, we are working actively to encourage contributions of money, time and services from associates in the world business community to help the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and other organizations to provide assistance to those in need. Along with our private donations, we have also initiated a special donation program called "Cigars for Relief" to help raise awareness and boost donations for hurricane relief. During the months of September and October 2005, we will donate $10 per box of Graycliff cigars sold to the American Red Cross' Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

We Can Make a Difference
Your financial gift to the Red Cross Hurricane 2005 Relief, whether it is an individual contribution or a contribution via your purchase of Graycliff Cigars, will provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need. We urge you to give, and give generously. We must match this human disaster with our compassion, and match our caring with contributions that will make a difference now and during the long rebuilding process. Please act now and please urge others you know to contribute as well.

Thank you for doing your part!

About Graycliff
Graycliff Hotel, Restaurant and Cigar Company, is one of Nassau's most highly regarded resorts and a leading manufacturer of fine luxury cigars. Graycliff has strong ties with the Gulf Coast region, and their close relationship with New Orleans and the city's cigar-loving residents is legendary, with a shared history that dates back to the days of privateer Jean LaFitte. Graycliff's historic resort and cigar factory, which occupy a 1740s mansion in downtown Nassau, has survived numerous hurricanes throughout its 265 year history, giving Graycliff owner Enrico Garzaroli personal insight into the current devastation in Gulf Coast cities. Graycliff has selected the American Red Cross as the recipient of their Cigars for Relief donations because of the immediate positive impact the organization can have and because of their advanced distribution system.
