You may not be aware that by day they are successful executives, but by night (or any time out of legislative session), they are available to heed your call (or email). Wherever there is trouble, they will be there (particularly if reading water is in danger). They are our neighbors and a group of mainly GBC members who are moonlighting under GEMA (Germantown Emergency Management Association) to assist when flood waters rise in the area to extreme depths. I am so fortunate to live in a neighborhood where neighbors help one another, often unasked, and without expectation of reward.
For you readers outside the area, the town has been suffering one of the worst disasters in its history. I would like to take this time to say thank you to my neighbors, and I ask that if you have an opportunity to help another, please take it. For resources on how you can help those in Nashville, please visit HON or the Red Cross. Please visit Nashvillest for helpful summaries of current conditions and other ways to get involved. Also, to repeat our Mayor's request, please reduce your water usage.
