ONE LIFE MANY VOICES

FViewer is a poster on the ABC.com board who attended Girl's Night Out. The poster says Robin mentioned "she has had a problem trying to get the "One Life Many Voices" CD exposure on any talk show. She wants that venue because it reaches such a vast demographic."

FViewer started a thread on the GMA board that addresses this issue. Please take a moment and keep the thread active by posting there:

ONE LIFE MANY VOICES

Robin announced Tuesday on her that she is reinvigorating her efforts toward , particularly after New Orleans was hit again with another hurricane. Amid warnings that Hurricane Gustav, which crashed ashore on Monday, would be the "mother of all storms", two million people were evacuated from the state. In early analysis, the hurricane caused negligible flooding and nothing like the devastation by Katrina three years ago. Nonetheless, eight people died in the US as a result of Gustav, while Katrina claimed at least 1,800 lives.

"We've got to keep helping our friends right here in the United States of America," Robin told callers on her Hotline. She said that the OLMV Foundation has become a 501 C3 non-profit classification, which relates to tax exemption status. So far, $90,000 has been raised through a deal with Barnes & Noble, Robin's own financial backing, and with money from CD sales. The fulfillment house Robin previously dealt with has gone out of business. Consequently, Robin says that she will take personal responsibility for shipping and handling the orders.

The CDs are on sale for $10.00 each. To get the CD and enclosed portraits by Michael Easton (John McBain, OLTL), make your check payable to The One Life Many Voices Foundation and send it with an enclosed self-addressed envelop with enough postage on it for the CD (Robin thinks it's around $1.50, but she is researching it). Your order request, with the sase, should go to:

Robin Strasser,
c/o OLTL, ABC-TV
56 W. 66th Street
New York, NY 10023

*NOTE: You may also order 14 CDs for the price of $100.

Shortly after Katrina, Robin thought of something creative. She spoke to her castmates about using their collective talents on a CD that she would later produce called, "One Life Many Voices." A not-for-profit foundation was established to allow for an independent fundraising effort with 100% of net proceeds going directly to aid 2005 Hurricane Disaster Relief.
