We responded to the tornado that stuck in Swan Creek Township on June 5, 2010 and assisted 8 families, fed the firemen and other responders, conducted damage assessment and helped man the Volunteer Reception Center for a week.
• 21 emergency messages were relayed to service members of local military families. We distributed packets of contact and other emergency information to 29 families of newly inducted service members.
