Tornado Damage

I just wanted to let everyone know that all ward members are safe and have somewhere to stay. From what I have heard the Gibbons, Selden's, Coombs, and elders all have substantial damage. The bishop has damage to his roof and the Hancocks have damage also. The Ortiz family had a tree fall but I don't know if there is any damage to the house.  So far only residents are allowed in.  We may need homes opened to families in need of food and hot showers if power stays out for awhile.  Please let me know if you would be willing and we can get a list of homes together for families to contact.  So far I have heard that these families have power and can help: (PLEASE contact them if you need anything!)

Also we are looking at having a spaghetti dinner at the church tonight (11/18) at 4:30 pm. Please contact myself by email or my cell phone (309)472-5481, or Charity Holcombe if you think you will come so we know how many to expect. (Time changed due to Washington curfew!)

The stake also sent out a message saying that they are going to be organizing cleanup for later in the week or early next week.  Thanks!

Also, we are going to go ahead and cancel book club tomorrow night.

PLEASE email or call Lois McAllister if you have specific needs.  She is gathering a list.

We have a few families who are going to need a somewhere to rent while their homes are being rebuilt.  If anyone knows of available rentals let Lois know asap!  It sounds like most of the members were able to get enough of their belongings out, including the Seldens.  They have a garage standing where they are able to lock up some of their things.
