Sandbaggers Needed Sat., Nov. 14th, 8a.m. - 4 p.m

Call to EARTH volunteers! Help all or any part of this physically challenging day! Stack sandbags to protect 650 feet of levee in Auburn.see info below. Remember, when you sign your name on the volunteer list, put "your name/EARTH" after it!


HERE's THE PRESS RELEASE:

We are calling on all volunteers to help out your fellow community members in this time of need.  There is a section of the levee that can not be sandbagged by the big trucks, there is no access for them, so we need man(woman)power to help protect the city.  The area is at the 8^th ST NE bridge, going for 650 ft North of there, it will take approximately 12,500 sandbags to fill this section.

            This operation will be held on November 14^th from 8am-4pm. We will be running in shifts of about 2 hours but you are welcome to stay longer if you want to.

The jobs we need filled are for Reception Center , Site Supervisors, Drivers (must be credentialed volunteer and have driving record with us.), and Sandbaggers.  The sandbagging portion will require physical labor, but the good part is that the bags will all be PRE-FILLED!

            The city and community really need our help, so please volunteer if you can. Also, if you know of any groups that would be helpful please help us get in contact with them.  The only stipulation is that people helping must be at least 14 years old.  Again, thank you so much, and please let me know as soon as possible if you can help and which area you would like to help in.
