The ZNE We-Care Program alerts members when we have a member, child, friend or family member in need of cheer due to a major life illness or transition. This allows our members to reach out via an email, a gift of art, or a greeting card - to extend best wishes. Previous and current We-Care recipients have included a member whose art studio was destroyed in a fire, as well as a member whose art studio was flooded by Hurricane Rita. The program has also reached out to a 19 year old who was diagnosed with a fatal disease, a member diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and a 13 year old child diagnozed with a crippling disease.

ATC Created for the ZNE Hurricane Relief Effort. Created by ZNE Founding Member Altered_Kat (www.GreatMusings.com)
When Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita hit in the fall of 2005, ZNE was less than a year old, but already full of concerned members throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our group's efforts to ease the devestation of the hurricanes along the gulf coast included collecting art supplies for impacted members, extending free memberships to members in the area, and donating artwork for an acution that raised over $100 which was donated to America's Second Harvest and the ASPCA's effort in hurricane impacted areas.
