A group from East Moline Christ UMC worked on fixing a house for a lady named Eleanor. After Katrina, the house was flooded up to the eaves. Eleanor evacuated to Baton Rouge where she had family. The EM crew on Tuesday - Kathy & Dave, Judy & Jerry, Kent, Diana and project leader Dennis have the awesome task to work on finishing the drywall, repair mistakes, tape, mud, and sand. Eleanor was very thankful and let us take her picture posing in front of her house.
Later Tuesday night after our great lasagne dinner, we were entertained by a New Orleans jazz band called Bohemian Royalty. It was a real treat to hear their music and hear how they lost their homes and music jobs after Katrina.
