Camp Algiers is Closing

Just when I was begining to think FEMA might not be all bad, I got an email saying Camp Algiers is closing. That's right--the camp that we stayed in, the camp that houses volunteers in the clean-up effort, is closing. I confirmed this through Diana Winingder, our volunteer coordinator with ACORN.

dear todd,
sadly, camp algiers is closing, it will happen on april the 10th after which, there will be no housing provided. we are working on some other options, but this has been an inconvenient circumstance and a true pain in the buttox, it was such an attractive feature of the volunteer experience. hope you are well and we'll certainly say hello to the crew for you.
