Ideas for Next Rebuilding Trip

1. Take advantage of Jim Lemire's offer to do a presentation on the role of New Orleans in American history before we go.

2.Following up on the educational idea, we could offer one presentation each week in NOLA on various theme, like -- "The Music of NOLA" or "The Plight of NOLA's Poor" or "The Faith Communities' Responses to Katrina" or "The Future of NOLA," .....

3. We could ask Marcia and/or others to create a list of possible weekend activities -- Swamp Tour, musical venues, dancing, etc.

4. Plan a fund-raiser to have money to take with us for building supplies as well as to raise awareness of the need for on-going help for NOLA.

5. Create a sign-up sheet, like we use for devotions, for small jobs to help the team -- setting tables up, daily/weekly clean-up, .....

6. Identify churches at which a group traveling to or from NOLA could stay overnight and/or eat a meal; an "Underground Railroad" idea.
