I just wanted to say that you Hill Co boys got it together. I listened to the radio traffic for 3-4 hours that night and 2501 had a great grip on things!!!! I have always bragged to our Ellis County guys about how yall conduct yourselves on the radio.

I am passing along information I received from WEST...

City officials in West continue to reiterate the best thing people can do right now is donate MONEY and BLOOD! You can donate money to the relief at Point West Bank & Trust (254) 826-5333 or State National Bank (254) 826-3741 and give blood at any Carter Bloodcare Location. IF you have already collected a large number of items for West, you can take those to the Welcome Center at Hill College in Hillsboro. Hill College is right off I35 just east of I35 and 171. **School items for West ISD, medical supplies for the nursing home, and baby items are recommended, but they won't turn away anything.** Drop off at Hill College is available M-F from 8am to 4pm and Sunday from 2pm to 6pm at the Library. Please share this information!
