  Dear Customers:
  
  Parallax is pleased to announce that today we will be donating $7,940.00 to the American Red Cross for the Katrina relief efforts. This is how we came up with the grand total:
  

  • Customer orders Our customers responded by ordering $9,801.49 of products this morning between 8:00 and noon, of which we will donate·100% of·our revenue up to·$5,000.00. Our customers don't normally order so many products on a Wednesday morning, so·you·must have liked the dual purpose of placing an order (get Parallax products, donate at the same time).·
  • Parallax staff contributions·After we announced that Parallax would donate sales revenue to Katrina, our staff asked if we would match their donations.·Our staff came up with $1,140.00 of their own money, which Parallax will match in kind to·total another $2,280.00.·Several of our staff donated through their churches or other organizations, too.
  • Guenther Daubach·An important part of our SX·development team from Germany, Guenther Daubach·is contributing 20 SX Multi Boards which we will sell through our web site at $28.00 each.·We will sell his boards·over the next couple of weeks (they've already shipped from Germany) and·Parallax will pay in advance the·$560.00 amount from Guenther. Guenther's boards will be available within 10 days.
  • Stefano Caruso·Our Italian·customer who is working on a translation of our Boe-Bot text has pledged $100 through Parallax.

  
  Let's hope that this money is put to good use wherever it·is needed. Thank you to·everybody for contributing.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Ken Gracey
  Parallax, Inc.
