Last Month’s newsletter featured our President and CEO, Donald Barrick, talking
about how busy our summer was and how we were able to help a number of our
clients achieve their goals. At that time
Donald had no idea of the devastation and destruction that hurricane Katrina
was about to inflict on the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida. Although it is still too early to tell, it is estimated that there
will be more than $100 billion in damages along with a great number of lost
lives. Resource Management Partners, Inc. has
already begun to receive requests from our clients for additional funding as
they are contracted by government agencies to rebuild the infrastructure. One
of our current plumbing contractors in the Huston area has been awarded
contracts to update the plumbing at abandoned schools in order to accommodate
the recent influx of students evacuated from New Orleans.
In another instance a private security firm
contracted by the local police has requested funding to handle rapidly
increasing payroll needs. In short the recent demands for financial relief have
been great and in the months ahead as the Gulf Coast States work hard to
rebuild their infrastructure and get their lives back together, businesses like
ours will be asked to stretch our guide lines a bit in order to help.

paint. That was good for the plumbing business and bad for the painting
business.
Stack, the incoming president of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling
Contractors --National Association, was flat on his back in a hospital room in
1970 from the effects of lead poisoning as a result of his work painting
bridges. The man in the bed next to him, dying from congestive heart failure,
owned a plumbing firm that his son had taken over.
Stack knew he couldn't paint another
bridge, so he went from being an $ 8 an hour painter to a $2 an hour plumber's
helper...
