From the home front

I am trying to field all the volunteering requests that are flooding the trauma program office. Setting up instructions on our MidCarolina RAC website has helped. I can't imagine what this would be like on this end without email! I am anxious to hear what the team reports back as to anticipated continued needs for personnel, but by reading the postings, can see that the needs will continue to be many for the coming weeks or longer. I know that everyone on the first deployment must be exhausted already, but are proud to be part of the effort. We are all proud of you as well. Please let me know of any thoughts that any of you may have for the next round of SMAT members that come down, or who you might like me to approach. I am thinking about you all constantly--everyone here is.
