This is a United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) trip to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. We've been organized by our Team Leader, Elinor Edmunds, as a group of United Methodist volunteers from the Yellowstone Conference. (Elinor is the Missions Coordinator for the conference).
The dates for the trip are April 6 through April 13, 2008. Some of us will arrive a day or two earlier.
Our precise destination is Metairie, Louisiana. We’ll be staying it the Metairie United Methodist Church (3741 Pontiac, Metairie, LA 70002).
Once we arrive, we’ll attend an orientation meeting and find out exactly what we’re going to do and exactly where we’ll be doing it. Most of the work is expected to be involved with home repair and light construction.
