Round Lake Area Helping D'Iberville Mississippi

The four communities of the Round Lake Area have adopted the City of D'Iberville, Mississippi as their sister city. Over 70% of this area, approximately 1100 of the 1500 homes, was completely destroyed by hurricane Katrina and they need our help! The Round Lake Village Hall and the Round Lake Park Village Hall are gladly accepting any "gently used" items that are no longer needed by local families.
The picture above is of the D'Iberville from the air and at the very top of the picture is the Gulf of Mexico. This community was within 25 miles of where Katrina went ashore. So you can just imagine the devastation. The City Manager told us he lives 8 miles inland and the water was up to his roof. As a point of reference the Round Lake Area is approximately 8 miles from 294. I can't even imagine that much water that far inland, and as we can see D'Iberville is on the water!
