Team Forming

At the meeting in April, interested individuals came together to talk about the next steps and answer questions.  Since then the forms are completed and firm commitments have been made by the following:  Roger Arnholt, Steve & Lynn Blackledge, Randy Brinkman, Vicki Crocke, Kendra Lawes, Sushane Lawes, Christine Ortiz, Ray & Ann Walborn and Fred & Jane Wittlinger.  A couple more are in the process of checking schedules.  Tom Brown who was visiting from Valparaiso Indiana and heard about the trip, attended the meeting in April and may be organizing a team from his church.

Our contact, Mary Carlson of Lutheran Disaster Response in Minot, ND will know in mid-July what the projects might be for the SAKLC team.  The team members will gather on July 11 to learn about what additional training might be helpful.  Then everyone heads to Minot in August to start their work in the community of Minot.  More information will be posted here as the plans for the trip continue to evolve.
