Let me start by giving credit where credit is deserved. While there were many Volunteers in Crisfield yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to see Julie & Mike Brewington as well as Matt Maciarello and his Son. I worked side by side with Matt and let me assure you, the man worked his tail off, as well as his Son. I'll add, when we gathered at lunch time at City Hall I was sitting in the front row eating. Julie and Mike had plenty of other places they could sit and eat but instead they chose to sit down next to me. I thanked them for Volunteering and that stuck up a very cordial conversation. I have to admit, I'm feeling a little sore this morning from all the heavy lifting but it's a good sore, if you know what I mean. When I hit the sack last night I was dead to the world.
I will provide some great shots tomorrow of our efforts yesterday as well as more details of what was accomplished. I'll also include an update from last nights meeting after we wrapped up for the day.
That being said, I want to personally thank Mr. John Phoebus. Ladies & Gentlemen, John has spearheaded a relief effort that is second to none. John has no experience whatsoever in this kind of situation but let me assure you, he has worked tirelessly for the good of the people. The Mayor was nowhere to be seen yesterday, yet John has been the leader of pretty much everything going on in Crisfield since day one.
Another person who really needs to be recognized is local business owner Billie Chandler, who owns The Pizza Shoppe. Billie was one of the first people I saw as a Volunteer. However, Billie has been to every meeting and at the same time she has opened her services for ALL of the Volunteers, providing meals for every one. Mind you, much of the food was donated but Billie has been cooking everything and portioning these meals, (as shown in the image above). After working as hard as every one is, having a really great meal at lunch time is truly refreshing.
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to come out and Volunteer. Thank You for ALL of the donations you have all provided. A representative from Pohanka told me last night they are receiving donations like crazy and remember Folks, they are matching everything you donate.
IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR WORK, Call 410-603-6732. This Contractor in Crisfield is looking for laborers and tells me he is willing to pay $100.00 a day.
