Team 26 Sunday

Every time I come down the fellowship hall at the newly dubbed, Hemley Road, Church of Christ (old Methodist building) fellowship hall is further along. It was crowded at church there this morning with many of our 130 volunteers in attendance.
Supplemental tents are added to the 100 person capacity Hilltop camp to shelter volunteers from the (2nd night in a row) tropical downpours that come out of nowhere.
Today was a free day for most of the crews to go sight seeing. This morning Sunbury UMC took their group picture at the dock by our camp.
Their T-shirts have a roster of all their group.
The Westerville Schools group spent the day at the beach. Pictures below is the South Wrestling "Bayou Smack Down!!! Sunday, Sunday Sunday!!!"
South Fencing Team...
South Sunscreen Club...
Hey Team 3 and 7 participants! Remember Sharon Oaks and Vicki and Tim Smallwood from South Dayton Church of Christ?
They get the pleasure of tearing down one of the last remaining, half Katrina demolished houses along the waterfront which happens to be right next to our camp. Today was shoveling and hauling debris from the area. Tomorrow is tying on a rope and pulling it the rest of the way down with some.... persuasive horsepower.
I spent the afternoon matching job assignments to the skills of the MANY construction leads we have in this team. It's very unusual to have so many experienced construction people in a group and that will make us very productive. Tomorrow, teams will be working 24 simultaneous sites!

A large group will be starting repairs on this 1800s home on the bayou to get the grandmother and 3 kids out of the camper and back in their home.
This place has a lot of character, charm, and a kewl veiw.
More updates tomorrow and through the week, so check back daily to keep track of us.
