Good morning, all. Everyone looks a bit more tired today, after a full day working in the heat, but once we get moving (and enough coffee), we will hit our stride and become a semi-well-oiled machine! I think that there will still be some work being done on the library floor today and the rest will be headed to the Vaughn home.
I forgot to tell you that Molly's brother Bill and his wife Lynn joined us to fill in the gaps by two people who left. Who left? David Rabinowicz had to go back to work and Karen Khan (from Follen) had to go to Pakistan after the sudden death of her mother-in-law.
We also learned of the death of Rev. Mary Harrington who has been a driving force in making changes in New Orleans and the world. She was very close to many of those here in the volunteer community.
We are also celebrating the birthday of Quo Vadis Breaux! We hope she will join us for dinner at Jacques-Imo's tonight. Marco Kaltofen was able to call in a favor for us. It helps to have friends in Louisiana. Marco is not with this group, but he has spent so much time in the gulf, he has made many friends.
It's 6:30. Time to get to work! We love and miss you, but we have a great support system in each other.

My body is in Sherborn this morning, but my heart and spirit, along with the congregation's, are with you in New Orleans. You all remain close in our thoughts this week.
For those of you who will be in church this Sunday, Oct. 31st, we are reserving time in the sermon for all of you to come up and tell us about your week. Just let me know on Sun. AM who will do the sharing. Sending love, strength, light, Nathan Detering
Jacques-Imo's -- as you know, Imo was your grandmother's name.
I can just feel how hot it is down there after having been in Dallas last week.
What am amazing group to be laboring under these circumstances. Good wishes.
