Tree Removal Needed?

Right now there is a huge amount of coordinated work both by volunteers and public workers... If you are looking to volunteer, there are a number of groups working on this, I have found Iselle Recovery assistance group to be awesome:

Carey, I have made my voice heard in so many places - telling everybody I know that I am available to help, even if just to volunteer. I have posted ads on craigslist, spread the word on facebook, mentioned it to as many people as possible in my own network, written private messages to those who may have some insight (including yourself), posted on the Iselle recovery sight, in a volcano local listing, here on punaweb, and others i am probably forgetting about.

Still nothing. No requests to come and fire up the chainsaw, anywhere.

This is fine with me. I have other things I can do too.

I am, still, very confused though. There are so many reasons and excuses for why NOT to have the help come in. To pinpoint exactly which one(s) are the true reasons is not an easy feat. Whatever the reason may be, I am feeling a bit rejected in the end. Maybe something about how I have communicated my availability?

It has been a lot of time wasted for me.

Next time, and i'm sure there will be a next time, I will just drive down there and get to work with no questions asked, instead of letting myself think that I would somehow get in the way by doing so. I think that is the lesson here. Just show up!
