Valley_Stewardship_Network is organizing flood relief efforts for Gays Mills and the outlying communities starting tomorrow, Friday August 24th at 11:00 a.m. For those of you interested in volunteering, please meet at the North_Crawford_High_School between Soldiers Grove and Gays Mills on Highway 131. VSN will have a volunteer command center set up as a place to organize. As volunteers we need you to check in at the VSN command center to sign-in when you arrive and when you leave. We will be working throughout the weekend; your efforts are needed as soon as you are able.

We will need volunteers to staff the command center, help residents and businesses with clean-up efforts in Gays Mills, and possibly go door-to-door assessing needs in some of the outlying communities that have not received any assistance as of yet. Crew leaders will be identified at the command center.

If interested in volunteering please come prepared with rubber boots, gloves, and drinking water. Also, the following supplies are needed to help our volunteer crews: shovels, rakes, trash bags, chain saws and trained operators, and any other item or equipment you think might be helpful. Please bring what you can as supplies are very limited.

As of Thursday afternoon, there was no standing water in Gays Mills and the water has receded to the bridge. Please come prepared to work and understand that the work will be DIRTY.

Your help with VSN volunteer flood relief efforts is needed and will be very much appreciated. If interested in volunteering you can reach a VSN Coordinating Member at the following phone numbers:

Mike Wheeler: 624-5292 Gary Thompson: 632-0058 Jessica Luhning: 637-3615 or 367-8568

Thank you again!
