Hello and Happy New Year to All

We had a very busy holiday season and would like to thank you all for your good wishes and response for the tool trailer and Rockford assistance appeal. We have no further updates on the Rockford project right now, but do have news about a new project in Louisiana slated for February 25-March 3. It's filling up fast. Interested volunteers should contact us as soon as possible.

New Windsor is having trouble filling projects for the Easter weeks. Churches interested in taking a week would be most appreciated. What better way to celebrate a re-birth than to help those in need of rising again from their personal trauma.

Many inquiries arrived asking about the trailer fund. We have an estimate but don't have hard numbers to present right now. Many pledges haven't been posted yet. We expect the financial statement next month and will have an announcement. The fund increased to at least $3500 with about $2500 - $3000 still expected in pledges. Tim and Paul are trailer shopping right now, expecting to make the purchase as soon as funds are secured.

Details on the new project are elsewhere in this newsletter. We are in the process of getting this posted to the disaster response web site. Thanks and God Bless for all the continued and enthusiastic support!

Carolyn and Tim
