Newman Shelter Opened . . .

The San Joaquin River has left its banks just outside of Modesto near River Rd. just outside of Newman, CA. Presently folks living in trailers in fishcamps are the ones who have been evacuated, approximately 100 dwellings. Tonight the Newman shelter has 15 residents inside the gym and about twenty five in trailers outside. It appears the shelter will be open throughout the weekend. The Red Cross will be providing 24 hour care throughout this natural event.
If you would like to volunteer to help please call me, 380-3851.
