I don&#8217;t have words for this horrific tragedy, other than to ask you to keep the families involved in your thoughts and prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to know some ways you might offer help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve seen so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Twitter, blood donations are needed.  The Red Cross had posted, several weeks ago, that donations were at an all-time low.  While most of us reading this are not in the geographic area, we may be able to help with financial donations or by volunteering.  Here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/?cid=generic&amp;med=cpc&amp;source=bing&amp;scode=RSG00000E017&amp;gclid=85c76643a9731217003607d87e38b378&amp;gclsrc=3p.ds&amp;msclkid=85c76643a9731217003607d87e38b378&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Generic%7CBrand&amp;utm_term=red%20cross&amp;utm_content=American%20Red%20Cross%20-%20Home%20Page\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/?cid=generic&amp;med=cpc&amp;source=bing&amp;scode=RSG00000E017&amp;gclid=85c76643a9731217003607d87e38b378&amp;gclsrc=3p.ds&amp;msclkid=85c76643a9731217003607d87e38b378&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Generic%7CBrand&amp;utm_term=red%20cross&amp;utm_content=American%20Red%20Cross%20-%20Home%20Page\">the link to their official site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter also shared, last evening, that the Salvation Army was on the scene offering assistance shortly afterwards.  Here is their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salvationarmyusa.org\/usn\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.salvationarmyusa.org\/usn\/\">website link for donations and volunteering<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies shared the heartbreaking message that two members of their troupe were among those who were killed.   If you would like to send them a message of support, here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Milwaukeedancingrannies\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Milwaukeedancingrannies\">link to their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s about all I have, at this point.  Other than to say, if you&#8217;re close to someone you love today, please give them an extra hug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Noella Noelophile\u00ae Out of respect for Waukesha, our regularly-scheduled &#8220;Christmas event&#8221; post will not be posted today.
