MEET AT BAUER CENTER 10AM SATURDAY NOV 3RD.
First things first: Email your ideas for what we can get done around town tomorrow so I can organize it into a coherent list. If you are volunteering please tell me what skills you have and what equipment you have/would need.
Let's use the skills we have to help move this recovery along. If there are other larger, more official volunteer efforts for Millburn, we can roll our efforts into that.
I'm at work today, so please use email to contact me until after 5pm at which point I am available at my cellphone throughout the weekend (or as long as I have charge!)
I also happen to be new in town and any good suggestions from Millburn veterans for a central meeting place for 10 am would be much appreciated. I

I am willing to meet to brainstorm ideas; buy and deliver supplies (food, ice, medicine); organize and staff a child care drop off so parents can get out and get a few things done. How about we meet at the Bauer Center in Gero at 10 am tomorrow?

Susan, Bauer Center makes sense. If not then MLev, we'll go from there to the mall. See you both there at 10am. Email any other ideas you may have/post them to the wiki.

I'm extremely sorry but I can't meet up for this because I am out of state now. I wish I could help more but there's only so much someone can do from a computer.

JCPL says they do not have the manpower to do two things at once: work on the substation problem AND clear the trees away from the downed wires in preparation for restoration of power. We can clear the trees if safe. May need some professional help

it is very moving to see the community coming together in difficult times.. I'm relocating to the area from London UK and have felt part of it since I fell in love with the town 6 weeks ago.. I won't be able to volunteer this time, but wish you the best of luck.. look forward to meeting you all
