Because of the low turnout of volunteers this year, we had to rent two conveyors which will cost about $750 by the time we are done.  Everyone’s donation will be appreciated regardless of the size ($25, $50, $100, $200).  Please send your donation to Shannon who will work on getting everyone compensated.  Any excess funds will be put into a neighborhood bank account to help with covering future costs (there is a plan to setup a neighborhood association – rumour is that Rick Rayl may be our First President).

Thanks!

Thank you to those that came out and helped remove sandbags today – there were about 10 people.  Although today’s numbers were disappointing, we are hoping that tomorrow we have a better response.  We simply cannot do much in respect to sandbag removal if we don’t have a good number of people.

We are meeting in the south cul de sac at 1pm tomorrow (Sunday).  Bring as many people as possible.

Call or e-mail with any questions.

Thanks,

Shannon Neustel

FARGO, N.D. (March 20, 2010) – Crews from the City of Fargo Street Department are in the process of cleaning up plastic, plywood and other debris from neighborhoods. Crews will also continue to remove unused sandbags and pallets from neighborhoods. Street sweepers have cleaned main truck routes and are now on standby to clean neighborhood streets which were used by flood trucks. Due to the water used in street sweepers, they cannot clean roads properly until temperatures reach 32 degrees. Crews will being sweeping as soon as the weather allows.

Oak Creek’s sandbag wall is only 70% completed and they are trying to devote all of their resources to sandbagging.  They are asking for assistance with food, so if you have any food available for the volunteers please bring it over there or talk to Laura Haldis who is bringing food over this weekend.

Susan Scarberry unfortunately broke her arm this afternoon while working on getting the plastic on the prefabricated walls.  Susan is the recipient of the first Timberline Flood Purple Heart (j/k).  She jumped down from one of the prefabricated barriers and landed on her arm.  This is a good reminder for everyone to be safe out there.

We appreciate all of Susan’s work with the flood and wish her a speedy recovery!  Gene (husband) has promised to work twice as hard to replace this valuable volunteer.
