Note from a group returning from the Gulf

Mike,

I just returned with the group from Taylorsville First UMC from our trip to Dulac, Louisiana. Thanks again for the $1500 from the conference to help fund the trip. That area was hit by Rita, Gustav and Ike!! We had an amazing trip and I would highly recommend the Dulac station to anyone looking for a mission trip in that area. This was our 3rd year to the area and 3rd station. Dulac is by far the most organized, helpful, comfortable, safe and interesting of any we have stayed in. It was an educational trip where we learned about the Houma Indians and their culture and about the bayou. The average income of the area is $8,000-$10,000 per year and there is much work to do there. This trip is about as close to a foreign mission trip as you could have without leaving the country.
