Saturday update

The VBMB team provided 4,150 meals for lunch today and 5,250 meals for dinner. The lunch menu was Beef Stew with corn and potatoes, sliced bread, and fruit cocktail. The dinner menu was Chicken with dumplins, peas, apple sauce and bread.

Each morning the team has a devotion led by one of the crisis care chaplains. Terri will lead the devotion of Sunday morning. At this point in time, Terri is planning to return to VA on Sunday/Monday. They are expecting about 15 replacement folks which is about 25% of the total team on site. Additional volunteers are needed.

The weather has been overcast and cooler and tonight electric power was restored to the church hosting the team. Word is spreading that some of the shelters are shutting down but schools will remain closed. Some folks may remain in shelters instead of returning to coastal Louisiana due to the potential impact of Hurricane Ike.
