Urgent Help Needed

admin — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 22:02:22 +0000

If you want to know where you can chip in this weekend, there are certainly places that need urgent help right now. Iowa City is already setting up a Volunteer Coordination Center. We as {reclaiming roots} have been asked to form a core volunteer group to be sent out to critical areas to help. Iowa City is providing busses to transfer any and all volunteers – let’s do our part to help pack them full!

Plan
1. Meet:
a. The primary plan is to still meet at the Laverman’s house (24 Highland Drive, IC), at 8.30am (NOTE, THIS IS EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY PLANNED). Stan’s cell is 530-4076.
b. The secondary plan: Officials are asking that residents be prudent in their traveling around the city. IF east side residents cannot cross the river tomorrow, or shouldn’t cross – then east side residents will meet at Regina School (2150 Rochester Avenue, IC) at 8.30am. I will be on the east side, and my cell is 331-7860. West side residents will still meet at the Lavermans. Both locations will have a bus to transfer volunteers.
2. Childcare:
If you need childcare, it will still be provided at the Laverman house until noon.

3. Coffee/Pastries:
We’ll try! If we have the “secondary plan” – no promises!

Please call with questions – and sign-up on the website so we know to wait for you…. www.reclaimingroots.org. We’ll try to check email as well, but internet access has been intermittent.

Please help out somewhere that needs urgent assistance, and ask your friends to do the same! Every hour of help counts.

Be safe,
Luke
