    When I got an email containing the following information, I felt it was something that would be at home here -- whether you want to cheer on the rescuers or join them.

    The devastation in Oklahoma is horrific. Looks like Hiroshima. There is something you can do to help NOW. Operation BBQ Relief (OBR) is a 501(c)3 charity and it has a stable of Competition BBQ teams who have big rigs and mobile kitchens.

    As I write this OBR's Stan Hays says they are heading to Oklahoma City to cook for the homeless and first responders. If you have seen the films, not many people will be able to cook for themselves for a while.

    Please go to the OBR website and send money for them to buy food. I make a monthly donation to OBR. You might want to do the same.

    If you wish to volunteer, sign up on their site. Rapid response by them AND by us is vital.

    The Illinois BBQ Alliance (IBBQA) http://www.ibbqa.org, which is holding a fundraiser/membership dinner this Wednesday at Barn & Co. is affiliated with OBR and will, I'm sure, be participating in this relief effort. Come to dinner this Wednesday nightand eat BBQ for a good cause.
