What Makes Our Community So Special....

Community Support

(Reprinted from Eastham Chamber Newsletter June 1, 2008 with Permission from Jim Russo, Executive Director)

Fire departments from several Cape towns, and as faraway as Falmouth, responded to a multi-alarm fire at the home of Eastham Chamber members, David and Lucy Jalbert (Jalbert Masonry and Lucy J's Glass, 480 Massasoit Road). Although no one was hurt, the extensive fire damage to their home and business has forced the Jalberts, and their duplex tenants, Stan & Danielle Langston and their children, to locate shelter elsewhere.

Having issued the previous paragraph as an eblast Monday night, I arrived at my office the next morning to witness, once again, what makes our community so special. Windmills, ocean beaches, school building overruns were all put aside. I was deluged with responses offering clothing, food, homes, and even the organization of an old fashion barn-raising.

Right now the Jalberts are simply attempting to sort everything out. When they are ready, we are a community ready to help.
