I don't typically watch the local news, but I happened to randomly
turn on the TV to NBC local news this evening while they were
finishing a story about the recovery from this fire.

CACS now has an information and donation page:

http://www.creativeartscharter.org/news/fire.asp

Now that there is more public information about the damage we should
blog about this on the Partimus blog to spread awareness that they're
looking for help, I'll write up a draft in the next day or so for
others to review.
