insurance and $50 per person to stay at the church) or perhaps you would
like to contribute toward the purchase of supplies the group will need for
their work. They will need $200 a person. Donations can be sent to Ms.
Luanne Newlove,
Work groups have been cautioned not to bring
goods into the area to order to avoid storage problems and the need to deal
with unusable items. They are encouraged to purchase supplies, including
food for the group’s meals, in
