Update for February 15th -- and cleanup crews are definitely needed on Saturday, February 16th

On Saturday, February 16th, Macon County needs as many teams and individuals as possible to do clean up:

Needed are:
+General clean up crews or Individuals
+Chain saw crews

All volunteers are to show up by 8:00 a.m. at the Macon County Junior High School, 1003 HIghway 52 Bypass, Lafayette, Tennessee.

We are currently working with FEMA, TEMA, local governments, and local churches to set up for the long term needs of affected communities. As you may have read in the Tennessean, the TN Southern Baptist convention has 10,000 trained volunteers, most of whom are dedicated solely to feeding and chainsaw/debris work in the early weeks of disaster. We depend on them to lead in that work, just as communities depend on us to help organize long term recovery, provide case management, and send hundreds and thousands of volunteers to do the rebuilding.

We all do a little bit of everything, but over time we've had to divide the labor because none of us are big enough to do it all, and do it well. It's not a competition, it's cooperation in the Spirit, that God's will might be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
