As you have probably heard by now, or possibly witnessed, a devastating EF-5 tornado struck Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011 at around 5:45pm. Red-Wood Development, Bell Management, and the Schroeder family have been proud members of the Joplin community for over 40 years. Although those who lived through this will never be the same, we are creating a fund to help as many as possible get back to a
normal life as quickly as possible. Red-Wood properties alone that were destroyed provided homes to 300 families and housed several businesses. Our companies have already begun the process of rebuilding but there is so much more that area residents need to re-start their lives. Some people not only lost their homes and possessions, but their job or business also. If you would like to be an Angel over Joplin, please send your donation to Arvest Bank of Joplin at 701 S. Main St., Joplin, MO 64801, Attn: Jackie Schell. Please make checks payable to "Angels Over Joplin." We have established a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation, making your donation tax deductible. The Schroeder family will match all donations up to $50,000. One hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds will be used to help victims of the Joplin tornado and at least half of the monies will go directly to our 300 displaced families, many of whom are low income seniors and families. There are angels walking this earth every day as we've personally seen this week. We ask that you forward this email to as many of your contacts as possible and help create a miracle from tragedy. Thank you and God Bless
