Volunteers Sought to Clean Up Dakota Dunes



    DAKOTA DUNES, S.D. (AP) - The Salvation Army is organizing an
army of volunteers to help clean up the mess left by Missouri River
flooding in the Dakota Dunes area.
     Capt. Von Vandiver with the Siouxland Salvation Army says that the
organization will serve as the hub of a hub-and-spoke system to
connect residents and homeowners with volunteers and other
resources.
     Suann Martin of Dakota Dunes says numerous volunteers helped in
the early stages with putting out sandbags out and getting
everything prepared. She says now that the community is trying to
get back to normal, any help would be appreciated.
     Vandiver hopes volunteers can begin the cleanup process once the
corps brings down river releases around Labor Day weekend.
