Hurricane Harvey Assistance for TASO Members 

We have all been glued to the television and other video sources watching the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey.  Our TASO family includes over 35 chapters with 4,300 members along the coast from Corpus Christi to Beaumont.  Many have suffered property damage from the wind and flooding; some have lost everything.

Now is the time for all of us to step up and aid our officiating brothers and sisters.  To that end, TASO is setting up a system to provide the needed assistance.
