NECHAMA will deploy to the tornado impacted area of Wadena, MN (approximate 2.5 hours away)on Sunday June 20, 2010.
We will be meeting at the Minneapolis JCC at 7:00am. (4330 Cedar Lake Road, St. Louis Park, MN 55416) . Rich Kronfled (NECHAMA board member) will be leading the volunteers on this deployment. NECHAMA does not have it’s van in Minnesota for transportation so we will have to carpool. The work in Wadena is general debris removal and some chainsaw work. You do not need to be certified on the chain saw to participate, most of the work does not require chainsaws. Please wear long pants and boots or sturdy shoes, not sandals.
We expect to return to the Minneapolis JCC between 7:00pm and 8:00pm.
If you have questions please contact Amy Cytron @ acytron@nechama.org or 763-286-6969. Rich Kronfeld’s cell phone is 612-819-5606.
There is a good chance we will be in Wadena for much of the following week as well. Keep in touch on the website under Current Deployments or with Amy.
