Salem Katrina Team Report - January 27

I've been feeling pretty useless, sitting here in Tampa while completing arrangements to replace our burned motorhome. The insurance folks considered it a total loss following the fire in the Norcold refrigerator, but have their channels to follow...and they take time, of course.

Anyway, today made up for all that, and in spades! I asked various managers of the dealership we're working with about their donating a travel trailer for Christus Victor Lutheran Church in Ocean Springs, and a few minutes ago they agreed! Amazing and wonderfully kind on their part. Their donation trailer sleeps four, is a modern, 1996 unit complete with a nice bedroom, a kitchen and a front "living room", and will be ideal for church volunteers to use back in Gautier or Ocean Springs. The dealership, Lazy Days RV in Seffner, Florida, is even providing RV supplies to get folks into it promptly.

Thus, whenever I finally can drive our replacement motorhome back to Mississippi, the mission of old Salem First Pres continues by bringing this useful donation, thanks to great people in business who care about helping Katrina victims.

Thanks, Lazy Days! Glad we came here to do business. And I can't wait to tell the folks in Mississippi!
