June 28, 2006
It is Wednesday! Hot day ahead...prob going to be in the upper 80s. Yikes! Still waiting to post a few big announcements! Very exciting.
Busy day. Went to speak at an assisted living home this morning. Nice crowd. They asked a lot of questions! I did a power-point on my experience down on the Gulf Coast last year. Everyone seemed interested. Several people had relatives that went through the hurricanes.
The name of the residence was Gaither Suites. It is located by
Kentucky Oaks Mall. I had a GREAT time!

American Red Cross urges flood safety while providing food and shelter to evacuees
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, June 28, 2006 — Almost one month into this year’s hurricane season intense rain has soaked much of the east coast, with the possibility of more rain expected in the next twenty-four hours. Throughout the past week, heavy rain and rising waters have produced flooding from Virginia to New England. Mandatory evacuations have been issued in some areas, while some residents are voluntarily seeking dry ground.
More than 40 American Red Cross shelters are open to provide food and accommodations to nearly 1500 people throughout the affected areas. Since flash floods are a potential threat that may cause more residents to leave their homes, additional Red Cross shelters are opening hourly and others are on standby to provide a safe dry haven to those in need. As thousands more evacuate their homes, the Red Cross will work with local chapters and community partners across the Mid Atlantic and New England to open as many shelters as necessary over the next several hours.
Red Cross preparedness experts urge residents to never underestimate the power of water and heed evacuation orders when issued. Flash floods can develop very quickly and the rapid accumulation can be extremely dangerous
