A note from a neighbor...
After church Sunday at Emmanuel Reformed, we discussed what we could do to help those in nearby areas so drastically affected by Irene. I called the volunteer relief team in Schoharie and it was decided we would bring bag lunches. We mobilized our church family at the last minute and had them meet us at church Monday evening with the makings of bag lunches. Donors were so generous ! Tuesday morning 5 of us "lunch Ladies" and 2 of the men headed out. No matter what you've seen on TV, the reality of the disaster is so much greater! The village is in ruins. What once was a pretty little Main Street with hanging baskets on the light posts, is now a muddy mess of destruction.
