What day do you have in mind to go down? Even if I can't go, I want to donate.

Been following Durkas thread since he started it on Monday and was glad to see your post. Thanks for stepping up. The wife and I were just there in the end of October for our anniversary and really love the whole area. We're heartbroken over what's happened. IM inbound.

Planning on going down Thursday with some folks; we'll be there all day, possibly Friday if they need us, but we'll have at least one coming back Thursday evening. If we've got any folks coming from downstate, we can find a place to put a few up Wednesday night to head down early Thursday morning. If you can't make it, Durka mentioned Walmart and Food City gift cards, which we can hand out when making deliveries. Glad to have you if you can make it! |

WNC members, I'm planning on taking a trip over the mountain later this week to drop off some donations in kind and volunteer for at least a day in Gatlinburg. I've IM'd some of the TN guys to get a better lay of the land and be a bit better prepared to meet needs. If anyone wants to join in the caravan to help our brothers and sisters in East Tennessee, shoot me an IM. You may want to contact some of the groups over here first. The Sevier county area has been inundated with lots of stuff, to the point it can't be dealt with. Storage issues and being able to distribute are the main issues. They need bodies to load, unload, sort and distribute more than the goods. Visit the web sites of the 3 local TV stations for people/organizations to contact. WBIR-TV WATE WVLT |

WBIR-TV WATE WVLT We've been communicating with Durka-Durka, whose on the ground over there, and planning on hooking up with the rescue squad for delivery and item sorting and storage when we get there. Every time I've spoken with the rescue squad, they reiterate that they're still taking donations, particularly for infant and toddler items. In terms of donations, that's what we're focusing on, but we're really trying to get trucks, drivers and workers at this point. |

The media here (Knoxville) is really pushing the need for physical labor more than anything. A friend of mine worked with Durka last week, he's doing a great job. |

Can't do much now. Just got a call and I'm pulling all-nighters until I get this project done for work. Wish I could help more. I feel like a weekend warrior. |
