Comments on this journal
There were lots of Muslims who showed up to the Monday training session so I'm hopeful there will be a good turnout. Thanks to all who helped in any way. Regardless of what has been shown on the tv, you should know most of the evacuees I've seen in the Astroarena and local ER are caring families with small children....and they have expressed their gratitude every step of the way.
