This is Sky here: [written to Arlington Countryside Church's men's ministry director)

We need a lot of HELP moving on Saturday, 11/22/08 9AM- 11:30 AM, to NTH (our NEW Temporary Home) -- 510 W. Tanglewood Drive, Arl. Hts. Go EAST out of our driveway [3026 N. Kennicott.] to our rental home for the months. 9-11 volunteers would make quick work of the move.
Needed:
3 - "Take Charge" individuals:
Coordinator (to recruit and direct)
Team Leaders (A&B) with vans (SUVs or station wagons) to direct and assist other volunteers
A-Team -- from LQ (LaQuinta, Room 228) to NTH -- .8 mile:
2-4 members to help load vehicle and deliver to NTH.
B-Team -- from Hugo's to NTH
2-4 members to load 9 boxes and 10 feet of clothes on hangers and deliver.
When delivering to NTH, please use "bucket-brigade" format (ideally, 2 people outside unload van and 2 inside to place items where directed by ELF, Sky or their designee).
Someone to oversee 3 grandkids (ages Kdgn, 1st, & 5th grade) @ NTH with suggested activities (or create your own).
Pizza is on us @ Barnaby's afterwards -- we'll order your favorite before we leave NTH.
In addition we will need some "household items" to set up "housekeeping" (items to loan to us for 6 months to a year; or give to us to keep and we will probably pass items on to Beverly House or Goodwill when we move out). We are not seeking new items -- just the kind you would find at a Goodwill Store.

Possibilities (Bring to NTH Saturday or to church on Sunday):
Throw rugs
Front door (large) Back door (X-LARGE) Garage door (large)
Kitchen sink 3 bath by sink 3 in front of toilet
Area rugs with protective pads -- 1 for living room - large, 1 for dining room
Bookcase (maybe two)
2- tables (like ACC had before the new round dining tables)
2-5 chairs for above
2-5 Wall hangings/pictures
1-2 electric heaters
couch pillows
Thanks so much, we really appreciate anything you can do for us.
In His Love,

Sky & Ellie Findlay
