EMC wants

to help New York victims

Today, Michael

C. Whiteside, President & CEO of Coweta-Fayette EMC, issued a statement

in regard to the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania.

His statement, made at the EMC's corporate headquarters in Newnan, follows:

On Tuesday,

our country suffered great losses: thousands of lives were taken; our

children were pushed into a state of fear; air traffic came to a halt,

as did our financial activity through the stock markets; retailers were

forced to close; our sports leagues and cultural venues cancelled all

activities; the very fabric of America has been torn, and our way of life

will be forever changed.

People unknown

at this time have chosen to use an act of war, through using families

and children who make up America just like you and I . They became

human bombs.

Here at Coweta-Fayette

EMC, our thoughts and prayers have been with the families, friends and

neighbors of the victims of this horrendous attack. We encourage our employees

to donate blood over the coming weeks, as the Red Cross reports need to

replenish; our staff is currently discussing ways in which they might

further assist New York during the coming weeks.

We are aware

that many of our members and customers will have relatives and/or friends

who live in New York or Washington, DC, and may be involved in some way.

To them, we extend our sympathy and concern.

All of us,

though, are encouraged to see our fellow Americans strong and resolved

during this crisis; we will remain 'one nation, under God, indivisible...'

We support our President and Congress in coming days, as they make decisions

that will affect our country.

Coweta-Fayette

EMC will continue to provide service to our members, but we will also

remember the thousands of families who will deal with grief for a very

long time. May God bless America.

Coweta-Fayette
