FRIDAY UPDATE

LOCATION - 1008 E 13th - Andover Community Center

The rain is starting to leave and volunteers are starting to arrive. Activity at our MARC (Multi-Agency Resource Center) had been slow, but I expect it to greatly increase as the day progresses. 

Fourteen Lions are here this morning and they are hard at work sorting and straightening out the resources that we have. Supplies are really going down, but the important stuff is still here. Every disaster is different and we have adjusted to that need. Paper boxes are not needed, but plastic totes are. They are keeping the resident's stuff dry with this weather.

Tomorrow we are going to have a pancake feed for the MARC staff and victims that are coming to our site. Volunteer Lions are going with the Red Cross staff handing out eye protection and gloves from the ALERT Trailer and letting them know we have more products at the MARC center.

Notice - Any Lion who can volunteer to help please call Dan Funke at 316-650-0737 or you can just come. We will be here until Saturday at 5:00 pm and will really need help on Saturday afternoon around 3:30 pm doing inventory and packing everything back up. Hope some of you can help!

THE ALERT TEAM needs your assistance! We can not do it alone. Watch the TV stations and share our posts so that more people know that we are working hard to support the Andover community. Go to the Kansas Lions Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/unitedwayplains/videos/511745963947705

to view a video that the United Way of the Plains did to promote our Kansas Lions ALERT Program sponsored by the Lions Club International Foundation and the Kansas Lion Foundation.

Monetary donations from you or your club can be sent to KLF Treasurer, Dan Funke, 9 Argon Dr., Goddard, KS 67052. The cost of the disaster is just not in what we give away. We have many expenses that the grant does not cover. Every dime you donate helps us provide this service to our Kansas Citizens.

Lions Serve those in need. Please help them in this time of need!
