News from the Patriot Guard Riders

I just got off the phone with a Patriot Guard friend of mine in Laurel County, KY and our neighbors are in need of a few things. One of the things that they are desperate for are the wide leaf rakes that have the plastic teeth. He said they work better for cleaning up insulation. Also like all areas hit by the storms, they need plastic tubs with lids and bleach and rubber gloves. These item are scarce,up there, even if the people have the money to buy or a way to get to the store.

There is also a major cleanup effort being organized for tomorrow, early, at around 9pmET/8pmCT, Saturday, March 10, 2012. Volunteers can show up at any time during the day. Work will continue through 5pmET/4pmCT. Should anyone be intested in donating some time, they could go to the East Bernstadt Fire Department, East Bernstadt, KY, and they will help you find somewhere you are needed. The supplies can be taken to the church. (A spokesperson at the church said that prayers for the hard hit town are especially appreciated.) -Joe Hare
