The recent flooding has taken an enormous toll on everyone. It is the rare person in West and Middle Tennessee who has not in someway been impacted. Nashville and the surrounding areas have been particularly hard hit. It will be a very long time before things are back to normal.
Our DCS family has done an incredible job of sticking together and making certain that our families and children are cared for. All of our foster families seem to be fine although a couple of them are currently in a motel until they can get back into their homes.
The Second Street DCS office in Nashville remains closed but will probably open as soon as we can get back into the parking lot. Our staff there were incredible. Anticipating that Monday would be a very bad day, they, with RA Carla Webb's leadership, implemented their emergency plan on Sunday. We had a real scare about hard copy records, but as of this moment we have not had any damage to the interior of the building.
The coming weeks and months ahead will continue to challenge all of us. We will, as we always do, pull together, help each other and make it successfully to the other side of this tragedy.
