Request for voluntary assistance.

Please see the following email from Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon:

 Dear County Team,

 

As you know, Salt Lake County is getting ready for the late spring runoff. While we hope Mother Nature cooperates with moderate temperatures that reduce the threat of flooding, we are preparing for the worst, just in case.

 

There is a volunteer opportunity for Salt Lake County employees, their families and friends to fill sand bags Saturday morning.  This is a great opportunity to perform an uncompensated civic duty to benefit the citizens of the County. Our goal is to fill 5,000 bags. We need between 300-400 volunteers.

 

The specifics of the event are:

Date:          Saturday, April 16

Time:         10:00-noon

Where:       SLCo Public Works Administration Building

604 West 6960 South

Event:        Bring your own shovel and gloves

Goal:          Fill 5,000 sandbags

 

The filled bags will be distributed at another time.

 

Thank you for considering this worthwhile volunteer event.

 

-Peter
