WORK TEAMS NEEDED FOR FLOOD CLEAN UP/REBUILDING
Most of you have heard of the devastation caused by the recent floods in West Tennessee. One area hit the hardest was the south side of Dyersburg. An estimated 600 homes and businesses were damaged to some degree. The majority of these homes were occupied by people who lived at or below the poverty level. They had little or no insurance against flood damage. FEMA will give some help, but not near enough to enable them to rebuild. They will need help from volunteers. Melvin Orr and Eugene Leslie are going to assemble work teams to help.
The first team will be May 23 - 28, to help in the deconstruction process. We will do basic clean-up, tear out drywall, remove flooring, etc. We will be staying in the Dyersburg United Methodist Church who have opened their facilities to house these work teams. We will gather at the Methodist Church, 100 Mcgaughey Street, at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday night May 23, for orientation and work assignments. We will start to work Monday morning and will leave Friday. We would like to invite any who have the time and concern to join us May 23 to help. It is a short notice but the deconstruction needs to be done as soon as possible. Let Eugene Leslie or Melvin Orr know if you can participate so that meals can be arranged at the Methodist Church. Volunteers are asked to bring $50.00 to cover the cost of the meals.
The second team will be June 27 - July 2. That team will help in the rebuilding of homes.
