RetroTrek Donates with its New Orleans Label

 

Having New Orleans as a second home, I, as many, felt the impact of devastation from Hurricane Katrina.  I felt for my neighbors, friends, and the entire city itself. Personally, I was thankful that my house did not sustain major damage. I am blessed to have had all the repairs done with the help of my insurance company. But as I looked around the neighborhood and the city, the damage seemed overwhelming. So, I searched for a way I could contribute to the rebuilding efforts.  New Orleans deserved better than it was receiving.

Having just started a new business, I saw an opportunity to do my part. RetroTrek produces luggage labels designed to help locate your bags at the airport baggage claim. New Orleans became the second city in a series to be depicted on the labels, based on the idea of the old colorful travel stickers placed on steamer trunks and suitcases.  I am very proud of the results that RetroTrek's talented exclusive artist, Pete Marenfeld, accomplished.  The label seems to capture both the spirit of the city as well as a retro look.  And I am very proud to be able to contribute something back to a city that has given me so much with its hospitality.

I am pleased to be working with the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity; and have found a way to make a difference.  Half of the profits from the New Orleans label go to Habitat.  Orders can be placed on the website, RetroTrek.com, with free shipping, or through EBay's MissionFish. Though it may be only a small part, in numbers, it can do a lot to make a difference.

May New Orleans be revived with Spirit through our many collective efforts.

Best Wishes,
