As you have seen and heard on the news, the recent tornados left a path of destruction, especially across Indiana. This hits especially close to home for Carolinas\/Virginia NAMA member and regional director, Ann Camden, who like many of us, was at Commodity Classic when the tornado touched down in Nashville. \u00c2\u00a0While Nashville was mostly spared, Ann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parents\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 home and family farm in New Pekin, Indiana was not.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They lost the house, truck, barn and several tractors,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Ann in an e-mail to fellow C\/V NAMA member, Jeff Tennant. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It’s a total loss, but they are physically fine.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0Ann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s uncle was at Commodity Classic so she rode with him to Indiana where she is helping her family pick up the pieces. Her parents have found a temporary residence and many in the community are helping them empty out the house and clean up the farm.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you would like to help\u00c2\u00a0Ann’s family, they are in need of Wal-Mart gift cards, Kroger gift cards, work clothes, work coats and work gloves. Contact Mary Cameron at Gibbs & Soell (mcameron@gibbs-soell.com<\/a>, 919-870-5718) to coordinate your donation.<\/p>\n
