I am happy to report that as of last night we had assigned 87 blocks out of the 102. Additionally the EE en español groups did canvassing instead of their regular visits last night. Although there were 15 unassigned blocks, this will conclude our canvassing phase.
What we are needing now are volunteers to help with clean-up of homes. We have Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief teams out in the community putting blue tarps on bad roofs, pulling out wet carpets and pressure washing floors. The priority is on helping the elderly, the uninsured and people who live by themselves and cannot do this on their own. There are more of these cases than volunteer teams. They are asking us to provide some volunteers to help with the clean up. Other teams that were headed down here from other parts of the state maybe reassigned to the Dallas-Fort Worth area after yesterday's tornados.
Those who are able to volunteer half-a-day or a full day tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, etc. should report to W109 at Calvary's West Ed building. The TBM office will assign them to a team. Please forward this information to your teams and groups at Calvary.
Also, advice those who have need for TBM to come and help them, to come by the same office to place a priority request.
