Flood Relief

As many of you know, Middle Tennessee was devasted by Mother Nature this past weekend, including my hometown, Clarksville. To date, Riverside Drive remains under water, as does part of the neighborhood I grew up - including our old neighbors across the street...I don't know if the water reached our old house (our family still owns it) because that part of the neighborhood was evacuated last night. It's really very sad to see the pictures of Clarksville under water and I can't believe all of the businesses and homes that were lost. I know several people whose businesses are located on Riverside Drive. Nashville is bad as well. Historic landmarks are covered in 10 feet of water - the Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Hotel, the Titans' field - LP Field, and much of downtown Nashville.

The American Red Cross is asking for help, whether you can volunteer your time or donate clothing, food and money. The Red Cross building in Clarksville was among the businesses flooded, so any donations you send, please send to the Clarksville/ Montgomery County United Way office at 1300 Madison Street, Clarksville, TN 37040. If you send a monetary donation, please put "Local Flood Relief" in the memo line. Thank you for whatever help you can give, especially your prayers!

Love, Paul, Nicole and Landon
