Ready To Leave for New Orleans

In order to get an early Sunday start the team took some time Saturday to load the van and trailer. Items loaded included tools, food, lots of coffee, water, gatorade, MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat), donated Build-A-Bears (please see story below), and luggage. We are all eager to hit the road and start on our Mission to New Orleans.

Clint's Build-A-Bear Party

Clint Davenport has a new friend named Nicholas. Nicholas, his four brothers and sisters, his mother and grandparents were all displaced by hurricane Katrina. Nicholas and two of his siblings have begun attending The Walker School, which is how Clint got to know Nicholas.

When he realized that the children in the Gulf Coast area lost everything, Clint decided to have his party at Build a Bear. Each of the fifteen children who attended made a bear to be taken to the Gulf Coast Area (each made a bear to take home too).

Nicholas attended the party, which made the gift bears even more special. Build a Bear gave us a 20% discount on the gift bears.
