Waynesville, Missouri Ice/Snow Storm 

North American Mission Board Call-Out: 

DESPERATE NEED!

South Carolina has committed to work with Waynesville, Missouri until the end of February.  This call-out has now turned into a CLEAN-UP operation. This means most of the work is pulling and picking up limbs, branches, and sticks.  Very little needs to be done with a chainsaw.  Teams that wish to go out may get by with just putting two chainsaws in the back of the van and not pull your unit.  This is a perfect chance for those that want to go, but the big jobs are just too much for them.  These jobs may be small to us, but to the people in Missouri the workers are a gift from heaven.

ANY TRAINED VOLUNTEER: wishing to work in Missouri (need not be chainsaw trained because you will not TOUCH the chainsaws) pulling limbs, branches, and sticks (cleaning up yards) can call the Disaster Relief office at (800) 723-7242 ext 5500 and we will place you on a team.

CHAINSAW TEAMS: DESPERATELY NEEDED - Anyone trained in Chainsaw can call their coordinator or the Disaster Relief office for further information or to be placed on a team. We are asking that Chainsaw teams will travel two (2) days up work five (5) days and travel two (2) days home.  Time is negotiable.

ACCOMMODATIONS:  We are using the church camp.  Sleeping, showers and feeding will be done at the camp (volunteers need to take bedding and towels).  We are told that the accommodations will spoil our volunteers.  Please bring your heavy winter clothes, long johns, wool socks, boots, gloves, and other winter attire a must!

GAS REIMBURSEMENT:  We will reimburse gas for one team vehicle round trip.  It is advised to use the vehicle that pulls the unit.  Please save receipts.

LAY-OVER: Harpeth Heights BC in Nashville, Tennessee has agreed to allow our volunteers to layover at their church coming and going.  This will help keep your costs down.

The same rules apply as in any other CALL-OUT, we expect you to fax the “Volunteer Roster” prior to leaving for Missouri and your Blue Hat will be calling in to NAMB every four hours as per standard operating procedures.  For more information or to schedule, please call your coordinator or the Disaster Relief office. 

For your convenience the Disaster Relief Director, Cliff Satterwhite, and the Disaster Relief Administrative Assistant, Brenda Lugmayer, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are listed at the bottom of this e-mail.

Please remember to pray for the people in Missouri that are dealing with this terrible cold and especially those still without power.
