We've Moved in Tennessee

We've finished our Needs Assessment in Jackson and have moved over to Gallatin to help another group with their NA. A lot of the homes in Jackson were homes with insurance and, right now, look like they would be covered. We did reach 310 homes and filled out 15 surveys. There will be more for the local comittee to get because some of these people were not home and green call back slips were left on their doors. There is a place in the Gallatin area here where the tornado was on the ground for 51 miles. We start here tomorrow (Tues) to knock on doors and the group also will man two walk-in centers. The leaders of this group said they did 16 surveys just today, which was their first day in the area. We'll work here through Friday and then take off to meet the Youth Group in Franklinton, LA on Saturday for a good week of work with them. We'll write more later. Love~ Doug & Mary
