LDS Disaster Relief - Slidell, LA

LDS Disaster Relief Clinton, AR February 16, 2008 Members of the Conway 1st Ward and Conway 2nd Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined with others from Quitman and Russellville to assist in the cleanup effort in Clinton following the recent Tornados. The 30 plus person group was assigned to help clear fallen trees for a local resident. Several brethren who started with us in Clinton left just before noon for Mountain View to continue assisting with the cleanup in that region. Click on thumbnail for larger view.
