Chainsaw Brigade...more info

We have firmed up some more details concerning the Chainsaw Brigade this Friday & Saturday. Here are some details:

• According to Ray Nagin's press confernce about an hour ago, we won't need work permits. The dry parts of Orleans will be open like Jefferson for people to come in and work on their property in the next day or two. If you haven't come home yet, this would be a great chance to see your house for the first time with a whole bunch of friends who want to help you clean up!
• We will meet at 7am in the parking lot of Community Bible Church in Baton Rouge. We will squeeze into as little number of vehicles as possible. This will be on both mornings...although...
• If you can come both days, we would like as many people as possible to spend the night in Algiers. Sounds like most houses already have power. We'll find a place to put you up. Just bring clothes, toiletries, etc.
• If you can only come one day...that's great! We'll make sure that you get out of New Orleans before the curfew is in effect.
• At a minimum, be sure to bring some work gloves. Bring a chainsaw if you have one. If you don't...that's okay. We should have more than enough stuff for you to do between moving wood and tarping roofs. Speaking of tarping roofs, some tarps would be helpful as well...
• Don't worry about food. It will be taken care of.
• Please RSVP to Doug ASAP. You can call at 504-975-7570 or email at dcdaspit@cox.net or just post a comment on the bottom of this message! We need to know how many people so that we can get the right amount of food.
• If you know there is a tree in your yard or that your roof needs to be tarped, contact Doug or comment. He can be sure you are on the list.

Thanks!
