> I was finally able to reach Ann (Sister Merry Tarry), who is running the
> volunteer area.  She said that they are in the process of moving to a new
> location at Reunion Arena and thus it's to receive cellphone calls.
> 
> VOLUNTEERS ARE WANTED - Must be 18 and over (bring ID as proof), NO tank
> tops (T-shirts are OK), wearing CLOSED-TOE shoes only (no sandals).  Just
> show up, you can sign up for Red Cross (ops and logistics) or Salvation
> Army (feeding people).  You may want to call ahead for the Salvation Army
> to be sure you will show up when you are needed.  The Red Cross will take
> untrained people but also wants to train people for other jobs if you're
> willing to give the time for training.
> 
> FOOD AND BEVERAGES:  Ann asked if people would wait a couple days to drop
> off donations while they finish moving.  I am willing to act as a
> collection point if people don't want to go down there.  Ann said that
> Wal*Mart and other gift cards are very useful because then she can buy
> what
> is needed when it is needed.  She also asked that people call or email to
> check that something they want to buy will be useful, to prevent six
> people
> from delivering the same things.
> 
> Again, since they have NO refrigeration facilities, they need things that
> can sit around waiting for people - bread, peanut butter, protein bars,
> dried fruit, fresh fruit such as apples that won't need to be
> refrigerated,
> individual cans and boxes of juice or other beverages, individual snack
> packs of almost anything.  They are not trying to provide meals to the
> volunteers, but snacks to keep them going between meals and late at night.
> 
> Ann said that she can check email a couple times a day, so people can
> email
> to her at charis_doula at ATT.NET as well as calling at (515)971-8762 and
> please leave a voicemail as it's hard to get phone reception there, she'll
> call back when she's in a wired area.
> 
> If people can pass this along to the Ansteorra and Chirurgeons list and
> anybody else whom you think might be willing to help LOCALLY instead of
> outside the Kingdom, please do so.
