Just back from the Peace House..
Got there about 9pm.. everyone looks good. Tired, but good. Cindy is doing well.. I swear, that lady has the softest hands ever. She must use some type of super special handshaking lotion :) It was nice to see her again.


There were probably 60 people there when we got there.. and more down at the Camp.

I wanted to kinda let you guys know what the status of supplies were. Keep in mind, this isnt an official list.. please make sure any official lists that they release are regarding first.. this is just personal practical observations.

They could definately use lanterns.. preferably some that we could hang from the various canopy/tent contraptions.. battery operated.. I also was unable to locate twine. They could probably use batteries. Everyone can use batteries. However they are bad for the environment. What would probably be pretty cool is a couple of flood lights for outside around the tents and long extension cords.

Trash cans would be very helpful, Id say they could use 3-4 of the ones with the tops on them.. ya know, the outdoor kind.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting any of you that will be out there tomorrow and Sunday.

:)

5. Anyone who is going should stop by a Costco
ours has rechargable batteries, electric lanterns and camping supplies, and large boxes of trash bags. Plus, Costco is uber Blue.
