Re: #1227 from CRAIG BOEHLKE on July 15, 1997

Dear friends,

I am sorry about the mix-up in telephone numbers for the disaster relief
efforts in the upper Midwest.  Apparently a new telephone person did not
have all the information in order.

To volunteer your services, call

>   in Minnesota and North Dakota:  1-800-987-0061

>   in South Dakota:  1-800-568-7716 - ask for Jennifer Grosland, new
                        volunteer coordinator for the Watertown, SD, area

We're entering the rebuilding phase in MN and ND.  In SD, clean-up efforts
continue in the Watertown area, where several hundred homes have had flood
damage.

Your prayers, volunteer efforts, and donations are vital as the church
continues its loving response to the needs of the people of North and South
Dakota and Minnesota.

Please send your contributions to:

    ELCA Domestic Disaster Response
    PO Box 71764
    Chicago, IL  6069-1764

Thanks.
Gil Furst
