Dear SWAMP Members &
Friends
I hope everyone was
able to get through Hurricane Ike with minimal damage.
Thank you to everyone who sent well-wishes.
SWAMP managed to weather the storm just
fine. We still do not have electricity (as of this
email), but we are thankful that that's all we're
dealing with as a result of this storm. Rice Media
Center suffered some minor exterior wind damage, but
thankfully did not sustain any major damage to the
interior or exterior.
Due to continuing electrical outages around the city
and other ongoing issues resulting from Hurricane Ike,
we have decided to postpone SWAMP and TALA's annual
Business of Film conference which was scheduled
to take place this weekend at Rice. We feel the
condition of our city in the hurricane's aftermath is
not ideal for holding a conference at this time.
The conference will be rescheduled and we'll let you
know as soon as we set a date. For those who
pre-registered for the conference, you will be
reimbursed.
Also, our phone system
is still down, so if you need to reach us you can
email us at swamp@swamp.org.
We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your
understanding. Feel free to email me if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Michelle Mower
Program Coordinator
