WE HAVE A DISASTER RESPONSE TOOL TRAILER!!!

By Carolyn and Tim Trier

Last month we were blessed with the opportunity to buy the tool trailer for $2000 under our projected estimate! Guy Ball from Dixon Church of the Brethren (and our Leadership Team) knew a man in Ashton selling a white trailer that met our requirements. Tim, Paul Skoog and Guy all went to inspect the trailer, and though used, found it in good condition and paid $3000 from our disaster tool trailer fund to purchase the trailer. The trailer is now plated and insured and being warehoused in Milledgeville by Paul. Paul is planning to build out shelving in the trailer.

The trailer is 7 feet by 16 feet with plywood interior walls (one of our requirements was to be able to attach shelves). It is tandem axle with utility doors on the back. It also has a hitch lock.

We are planning to have it available for use at the Douglas Park Work Day April 28! Come out and join the fun! Thanks and blessings to this district for the enthusiastic support of the tool trailer.
