Slide families in need of construction help

Help is needed this weekend in efforts to relocate two of the four

families displaced by the June 1 landslide into mobile homes on

private property at the corner of Laguna Canyon Road and Canyon

Acres, according to Mayor Elizabeth Pearson-Schneider.

People with construction skills -- even rudimentary -- are needed

to help build skirting around the trailers, stairs and decks or

landings. The additions will also need to be painted, and carpet must

be installed in the trailers.

Two of the families have children in local schools and need to

move into their new homes as soon as possible.

“Once these families are settled in, we’re going to turn our

attention to the other landslide families and see what their needs

are,” said Anne Johnson, co-chairperson of Adopt-a-Landslide Family.

There is also a need for people to give breakfast snacks and lunch

to 20 to 40 people working at the site.

The work will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
