HandsOnUSA and HandsonNetwork

WOW! Major news. Short version: HandsonUSA is joining forces with HandsonNetwork and staying in Biloxi!!!! :)

Dave Campbell (the FOunder of HandsOnUSA):

"And even better, they had decided to launch a sustained effort providing volunteer services on the GulfCoast, starting Feb 1 ( our planned end-date had been 'end of January'). We've had a number of meetings with the folks from HandsOnNetwork, and plan on joining them as a disaster response affilliate, and help launch their effort here in Mississippi, including providing assistance from our Operations Directors, Darius and Mark, and working to move some of our volunteer leaders into ongoing positions with them ( if they so choose). We will be working together from our Operations Center in Biloxi over the month of January, and expect that we can make the transition smooth and effective."
