Hey everybody…quick update for the High River Flood Relief… We are a go for Friday July 5th and plan to be leaving in 2 waves. I (Pat) will be heading out with a team at 6am and a second wave for anyone who can’t leave work, get sitters for kids, etc will leave Red Deer around 1PM. We will be leaving from One to 1 Fitness: C3, 5580-45 Street, in the Cronquist Business Park. I have no idea what time we will return…there are a few people that are unable to get out of previous commitments for Friday night who will be returning early. For everyone else, physically, mentally and emotionally, an 8 or 10 hour day of service could be enough, so we will tentatively say we will work from 8:30 or 9 until 5 or 6? This would put us back in Red Deer around 8 or 9 depending on stops for food etc. We will be down there will multiple vehicles though, so we will have the flexibility for people to take off as needed. ***Again…if you have not already done so, PLEASE make sure your Tetanus shots/boosters are up to date. Expect anything and everything in that water; bacteria, toxins, pollutants, animal feces, dead animals, etc.*** @Dallas Heintz at Western Fiberglass has organized to donate and supply 80 dust masks, 30 pairs of paper coveralls, latex gloves, shovels and cleaning supplies. They are also providing 2 – 2” pumps with hoses, 2 one tonne trucks and a 34 foot gooseneck trailer with a Bobcat. ***For anyone wishing to donate furniture and other large items*** Please bring such items to One to 1 Fitness no later than Thursday afternoon, as we will be loading the trailers for safe overnight storage. @Fred Sirett at Guest Controls in Lloydminster has organized to donate rain gear, rubber boots, cleaning supplies, food, water and other necessities. ***I will do my best to get a wide assortment of sizes for rain gear and rubber boots, but logistically, it’ll be impossible for everyone to be fit perfectly, so if your boots are a little too tight or your pants are too long (like mine will be for SURE lol) please accept my apologies in advance. It appears as though we may or may not be able to assist in the area we had previously intended to, as High River is only letting people back into certain areas of town for relief help. Either way, there will be plenty to do. If you are planning to help and have not already done so, please leave a comment here so that I can get final numbers together for supplies. Please feel free to message me or call at 4035970847 with questions, Thank you all so much in advance, Pat
