Tribesman Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 The Mid County Kindness program is a joint effort by the cities of Port Neches, Groves, and Nederland to assemble teams of volunteers to assist the citizens of Bridge City in their cleanup efforts after Hurricane Ike. On October 5, 2008, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the PNGYFA is asking for volunteers to go to Bridge City as part of this effort and to show our support for the city of Bridge City. All volunteers will meet at a designated gathering point and receive masks and information packets. We feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to provide much needed assistance AND to teach a fantastic life lesson to our own children at the same time. All children are welcome and can work at their parents discretion. THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TO DO from tearing out damaged sheet rock to helping with lunch and handing out water. It is recommended that each person wear long pants and gloves. Recommended tools include chainsaws, buckets, wheelbarrows, shovels, and hammers. INSECT REPELLANT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Each family is asked to bring their own drinks and lunches. Coaches, please urge participation from your team families and let us know how many volunteers that you have. The PNGYFA also asks that you proudly wear purple as we provide our support for the people of Bridge City. If you have any questions, please contact Chris or Chera Latiolais at (409) 962-2009, (409) 289-2015, or (409) 363-1764. Thank you in advance to all who volunteer in this effort.

As a Bridge City citizen, I cannot begin to tell you how much your support and help means to all of us and how much we appreciate it. I'd like to also thank all of the member associations of the STJFL for coming together to help out the kids of both Bridge City and West Orange, some of whom lost lost absolutely everything, including their football gear. We've had so many offers of help for our kids that it's beyond belief the generosity everyone has shown from the surrounding areas and other associations. Thank you and God bless you all!
