Yep!
It was on q13. Something about it getting more personal. I missed the exact wording.

 

[JenniferO]

[JenniferO]

I just used the 'share' button

 

[jvk]

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks to Q13 - Very pleased to see them support the effort.

Looks like they had a reporter there late, which is certainly more than others.

- Keep up the good work.

that's what I used but either Chrome didn't like it or I did something wrong.

I just watched King 5 news.. I was shown driving into the parking lot. They didn't show anything from inside.

 

[McCleary]

Did they talk at all about what areas they plan on focusing on during this search?

I also got the ear of Marc Klaas for a couple minutes & discussed the AA system. - Thanks Marc

Jvk glad you could make it and thanks for photos. I had a meeting with my clients in Lacey that didn't get started until 5. What time did it end? I didn't get home until about 8:30pm so I figured it was over by then.

im happy to see the news stations and papers being there......:woohoo:

maybe some *shame on you for not keeping Lindsey's name on the for front* letters got thru to them...

 

[JenniferO]

Did they talk at all about what areas they plan on focusing on during this search?

No, they said that would all be covered tomorrow.

Brad did tell me it was not going to be a door to door search. But other than that no mention was made of where they planned to search.

I'm not JVK but I left a few minutes after 8pm.

From the story on q13fox.com

Individuals who would like to participate in the search for Lindsey should check in at the McCleary Community Center between the hours of 9 am and 4:30 pm on Friday, August 28th. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and bring photo identification. "Dress appropriately for the weather, wear long pants and sturdy, covered toe shoes. We need people who can do foot searches as well as individuals who are willing to work in the search center explained Dennis. Volunteers are not required to attend the community meeting. In addition, we are looking for donations of bottled water, office supplies and the use of a copier."

Bringing this over from the other thread

Thelma, I wish I would have known which one you were. I would have said hello.

Very informative meeting tonight. We got to meet Brad, Marc and Dawn. Very nice people. I know if I was in MBs spot I would want these people on my side.
Breanna and I sat and talked a long time with Dawn (and a little bit to Brad.. I need to slip in here that Brad is very handsome and very personable.)
We have been asked to help with briefing the searchers. We will be in the Search Center tomorrow morning.. and I'm attempting to make it possible for me to be there Saturday and Sunday also.
Due to the nature of what Breanna and I are going to be doing we have been asked to refrain from discussing the searches and the going ons at the search center. Soo.. I will probably read the forums this weekend but I doubt I will post. I don't want to slip up and say something I shouldn't.

I also had a long talk with Kara.. we discussed what happened on her Myspace blog, (which, btw I found out today that Myspace removed those posts and I believe they deleted the account they were coming from.), we also discussed the forums and she appreciates the things websleuths have done and the respect they (we) show for her, her family and her friends. That's not the feelings she has towards "other" websites similar to WS.

I took a few pictures but not many.. I made the mistake of sitting in the 3rd row instead of the back. I didn't want to turn around and take pictures of people. I thought it might be rude. lol

Anyway, MB held up well. She got up and talked about Lindsey. Josh was there. He is selling CDs (of Lindseys song) and I promised to buy one from him tomorrow. I don't want to talk unkindly about Josh. He seems like a really nice boy.. but I do believe he is probably Aspergers.. probably on the high end of the spectrum. He reminds me a lot of my nephew who is about the same age who has it. I don't know how to explain how he was. It seems he knows what is going on but at the same time he really has no clue of the degree of what is going on.

Anyway, it was kind of emotional. Hearing the story from Marc about his daughter Polly and hearing MB talk about Lindsey. As I was telling people tonight.. my youngest daughter resembles Lindsey (they even have many of the same tastes from clothing to books to music). I just keep thinking that this could have been my child.

They need volunteers.. they need searchers. Marc Klaas said he wanted at least 300 people.. by the looks of how many showed up tonight I don't think we are going to hit that number.

So.. I'm texting, calling, Myspacing, Facebooking every single person I know in the local area (hell I even contacted my husbands ex wife who lives 200 miles away. her and her husband are going to be here Saturday to search) to come help out. I'm asking them to call their friends and have those friends call their friends.

BRING LINDSEY HOME!

Brad did tell me it was not going to be a door to door search. But other than that no mention was made of where they planned to search.

I am a little confused... So tomorrow we just check in, there is no search going on but they will reveal where it's going to be concentrated and then this weekend the search will happen?

 

[JenniferO]

No tomorrow you come in and fill out the volunteer form (make sure you bring ID) you will be briefed by either me, Breanna or who ever else they choose to do the briefing and then you will be sent out in groups to search.

They are asking searchers to allow 4 hours (paperwork, briefing, searching and debriefing) but if you can't devote that amount of time they still want you to come and help. There is no requirement to how long or how short of a time you can help.

They are going to search Saturday and (possibly) Sunday if there is still a need.

 

[JenniferO]

I'm assuming they are going to be sending people out into the woods. Dawn questioned me on my knowledge of the surrounding wooded areas/logging roads. They said to wear comfortable clothing, bring bug spray, sun screen and wear toe covering shoes (no sandals)

Bring a water bottle if you want. No dogs. No kids. No weapons.

 

[TakeNote]

[TakeNote]

[JenniferO]

I'm off to bed.

LET'S BRING LINDSEY HOME!
