River Bend Church admins and pastors- Please publish this info in your next and subsequent bulletins as you see fit. Thanks!
All- There are dates and some ideas set for some upcoming trips to Iowa for flood relief.
Who- we are looking for making teams of 10 or so (15 at the most). We didn't talk about age limit. I think we are still looking at adult trips. If you think a youth age trip would be a good idea, we could consider it, as long as there is a leader for the trip. Some of the trip weekends we have in mind do not have ANY leader yet.
What- Most of the work is still demolition and clean up. This means carrying, knocking down, cleaning up, etc. I think most people of all abilities will be able to find something to do.
How much- We are asking for $15 per day. This will cover meals. There is some left over NOLA1 money to help offset some of the other costs.
Where- This depends on the week- We will typically leave on the Friday night before, and return on Sunday afternoon. Obviously, other arrangements can be made since this is not a very far drive (compared to New Orleans!) In some cases, a team leader may leave a day or two before and the rest of the team will meet them down on Friday night. These are details that can be worked out with the team leader.
When-
July 26th-27th-- Going to Mason City. - More details available about this trip- Leader: Linda Emerson and Rod Scofield
August 8-9 -- Going to ? (Probably Cedar Rapids) -- Leader: Rod Scofield and ?
August 15th-16th- Going to? --
August 22nd-23rd- Going to? --
September 6th-7th- Going to?--
How will we get there?-- Probably take our cars and trucks. This is a pretty easy detail to work out.
Where will we stay?-- Probably in a local church on a floor.
What to bring- Sleeping bags/pillows, work clothes, (long sleeves and pants recommended!), gloves, boots recommended, your own hygiene equipment (shampoo, etc.- I will try to find us a place to clean up each day.) More specifics later. (when we know more about what, "exactly" we will be doing.)
How to sign up- Send an email to Rod Scofield (rodscofield@gmail.com) or call him at 651-248-8495. He will make sure you get signed up and the info you need. Call or email with further questions.
