I am curious how many DU'ers would be interested in donating a weekend to assist fellow DU'ers in the Katrina aftermath?
Would probably be talking about mid to end of February.
Any takers? Anyone want to help coordinate this?

I would be interested at some time later in the spring.

2. Check out Katrina Krewe

I volunteered with them yesterday. We cleaned a huge part of Napoleon Avenue and Claiborne in a few hours. Well over 100 volunteers showed up!! This number has grown week after week.

If y'all come to town on a weekend. Be sure to check http://www.cleanno.org/ for that week's cleanup spot.

Also there are groups who get together to adopt a home and clean it out. This can be very dangerous. Volunteers for work like this will need heavy duty respirators, protective clothing, and heavy duty rubber/plastic gloves.

3. Also tetanus shots

In Mississippi, people who go out cleaning lots or houses are required to have tetanus shots.
