This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 1984 Louisiana World's Fair, the last world's fair held in the United States.
I'm researching possible commemorations of the event in New Orleans this year, but in addition to any actual events, I'm working on some ideas for a retrospective web site that both marks the anniversary and afford people the opportunity to help New Orleans, which is still struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
To that end, I'm soliciting ideas for groups I can partner with using the web sites 1984WorldsFair.com and 84plus25.org.
Know of any appropriate charities? Please let me know. Ideally, a connection to the world's fair would make the effort "click" and achieve the most attention.

I've been trying to find out if there are any planned festivities but haven't found any yet. Some of the people behind the original fair have talked about doing something this summer. I'll contact them and see if anything has developed since I last spoke with them.
