The other day, FNC reported that at one of the centers, either the Astrodome or the River Center in Baton Rouge, they had set up tables to register volunteers from among the evacuees. They were looking for people to hand out food, clean up the place, etc.. I've not seen another report as to how successful they were. Somehow I doubt that they got many volunteers. But then, I'm a cynic.
I had not heard this -- actually, I see it as good news. At least someone was trying. Would love to see how many folks took advantage of the opportunity.
