I have just received this from TES and they have asked us to help spread the word. I am asking all of you to help please. Please post this notice any where you can think of on the internet where we may be able to round up some volunteers or other help. Maybe public forums in towns close to Ocoee? Thanks for any help you may provide.
==========
Texas EquuSearch will continue the search for Tracy Ocasio on Tuesday,
June 16th.
Texas EquuSearch would like to thank the volunteers, Law Enforcement,
the Mayor and City officials from Ocee, and the media for their help and
support. We are hopeful with continued community support, Tracy can be
found.
Donations of money, bottled water, Gatorade, food for volunteer lunches,
and non perishable snacks are needed for this effort. Gift cards for
office supply stores would be especially helpful as we are in need of
printer ink (HP 27and28) and general office supplies. Donations can be
brought to the Command Center anytime after 8AM. Monetary donations can
be made at the Command Center or by going to the Texas EquuSearch website,
www.texasequusearch.org . All donations are tax deductible and the proper
receipt will be provided.
As of Monday afternoon, over 700 acres have been searched.About 60
volunteers participated on Monday. The focus has been on the area between
the Florida Taproom and where Tracy's vehicle was found. Texas EquuSearch
met with Law Enforcement on Monday morning to discuss the status of the
search and possible other search areas.
There is an URGENT need for foot searchers, ATVs, and horses for Tuesday's
search. Horse owners will need to present a current Coggins test at
registration. All volunteers must be at least 18 and present a valid
photo ID. Volunteers should wear long sleeves, sturdy shoes and a hat.
Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended.
The Command Center is located at John Vignetti Park, 1906 Adair St.,
Ocoee, Florida. Registration begins at 8AM and volunteers may come
throughout the day. The last teams are expected to be deployed about 2PM
daily.
