Flooding at Bandera,Texas - Disaster Response!
Our Mission is to assist The flood Victims in the Bandera area. We will leave
Shepherd of the Hills Parking Lot at 12:00 Noon January 16, 2003, so we can caravan to the work sites. If you cannot
come Thursday, you can come Friday and/or Saturday returning Sunday.
We need Volunteers (No experience necessary - all Sr. High's and Adults welcome).
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??
We probably will Install Sheetrock and Insulation in some homes, pick up flood
debris etc.. If necessary, we will clean up homes, and that could mean tearing out sheet rock
and insulation 4 - 8 ft up from floors throughout these homes. That also means tearing out
kitchen and bath cabinets that were destroyed by water in these homes (So bring your plumbing tools too!).
You folks need to bring hammers, utility knives, a couple of staple guns to tack up the insulation,
nail aprons/tool belts,gloves, cool clothes, and it is always handy to have a first aid kit plus
some mosquito spray. We may be also doing some Mud out so bring boots, shovels, squeeges, etc.
too!If you have folks who are experienced with taping and floating they are welcome to put in the first application.
Hope this appeals to you.
