Response Team Info . . .

The American Red Cross has canceled the drill in Visalia for the weekend of March 17th. I appreciate all who have voluntered to go.

We were called last night to be the shelter staff at the Keyes Hazmat incident from Friday afternoon. We were able torespond with four willing all night people. Thanks to Jim and Jackie Cole along with Peggy Martin for responding to make a difference for God in our community. Our team staffed the shelter from 10 pm to 8 am. It was great even though no one took advantage of it.

The ERV will be up and running later this week. I can't wait for us to take it out for some local mission work. The Red Cross called for us to bring it out this week to the hazmat incident because their ERV too was in the Shop. Maybe next time.

If you are willing to staff the ERV for future canteen events at critical incidents please let me know. Otherwise I will start at the top of the list and work down when we need responders.

I am still trying to firm up dates to go to Slidell, it looks like it will be the weekend starting on Good Friday and returning the following Friday or Saturday. I will firm this up next week and then see who wants to go

Thanks for your interest,

Buddy
