I wanted to let you know that I've been asked to be a member of the Family Assistance Fund Committee, and I've said yes, which means I'll be helping to make decisions about how the funds are distributed to the survivors (I hate the word "victim") and families.
The Committee has received its first urgent request. At the moment this is all I know. A gentleman in Washington State (I don't know if it's Larry, can someone check?) is being released from the hospital on November 6th and work needs to be done to make his home accessible. Work has begun to find donations of material and workmen.
One of the things that may be needed is pilots who are willing to fly volunteers to Washington to do the work.
Obviously if you know people who can help in Washington, that would make more sense, but we're sort of planning for the less than best case scenario.
So, if you have contacts in Washington that might be able to help with materials, if you know tradesmen, please give them a heads up. If you might be able to fly volunteers from Reno to Washington, please let me know.
I'm waiting for details and I'll post them as soon as I have them.
As always, thanks everyone for the help.
