Blood Drive Sign Up 
Carter BloodCare will be here this Saturday, July 15. You can sign up to donate here! Some of our students will be signing up today (Monday), so if staff could wait to sign up until Tuesday, July 11, that would be great!

Missing Blowers 
Operations is missing two handheld blowers — one electric DeWALT and the other a gas-powered STIHL. If you happen across these power tools, Ops would be happy to have them back. 
Staff Dorm Cleaning
Thank you for your incredible support in hosting the SWEPCO linemen during the Father's Day power outage. They were blown away with your hospitality and kindness. 

We are hosting another Staff Dorm Cleaning next Thursday, July 20, in Dogwood at 8:30 AM. Coffee and treats provided! Please text Michele Weiss to sign up for your favorite cleaning responsibility. Again, thank you for all your help and support!
Mayflower Minutes
Last week, the Mayflower group enjoyed their first 4th of July in the USA! They participated in a Children's Parade and enjoyed ALERT's cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs, and fixings. They were also able to join in volleyball, frisbee, and other games during the festive picnic. Thank you for welcoming and celebrating freedom with them! 
Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
On Monday of last week, the Battalion was able to help the Kilgore Police Department with a search for a missing person. They were able to locate the man after about two hours of searching. Also, this past Saturday, some of our guys were able to assist with parking in Gilmer for the funeral of a long-time Longview firefighter. Sawyer training and practicals went well last week; the guys learned a lot, and we are grateful for the safety God provided. 2nd Phase is beginning rope rescue training this week. Please continue to pray for endurance and health for the men as they spend significant time outside in the heat this week. Please also pray for God to do the work in men’s hearts that only He can do.
