                  <p><strong>Linthicum, MD - September 15, 2017 (Updated October 4)</strong></p>
                  <p><img style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 20px 30px;" src="graphics/news/hurricane-harvey.jpg" width="300" height="203" alt="ATI Responds to Hurricane Harvey"/>When America faces its worst, Americans are at their best.  As Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico begin the long journey to recovery, we read statements like this everywhere we turn.  Disasters have a way of bringing out the best in mankind.</p>
                  <p>During and after the storms hundreds of requests came in from ATI associates and members wanting to help.  At SuperConference, we are always in awe of the generosity of our attending members as we raise significant money for local charities.  So, disasters like these should and will be no different.</p>
                  <p>We at ATI are committed to helping our members that were affected.  Your concerns and willingness to help has demonstrated how all of us want to support the ATI Family when in need.</p>
                  <p>ATI  is in contact with each member affected to, when necessary, accommodate and restructure their monthly payment obligations to provide relief for rebuilding. In addition, we are coaching them every step  of the way for alternate possible revenue streams until car count comes back.</p>
                  <p> ATI  has made an initial corporate donation to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund: <a href="https://ghcf.org/hurricane-relief/" target="_blank">https://ghcf.org/hurricane-relief/ </a></p>
                  <p><strong>If you are looking to help ATI shop members affected directly: </strong></p>
                  <p><img style="float: left; margin: 5px 30px 20px 0;" src="graphics/news/hurricane-harvey-shop.jpg" width="300" height="203" alt=""/>The Hillmuths (current ATI members) created a Go Fund Me account at <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/3zgk60" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/3zgk60</a> to specifically collect money for ATI shops in need.  Although this kind initiative is not directly affiliated with ATI efforts, you may want to contribute through this fund as well. </p>
                  <p>We are proud to be a part of the aftermarket and the work we all do.  We are prouder to be Americans who rise up and lend a hand when ever and where ever we are needed. <br />
