Service project
At the same hour that Hurricane Dolly was blowing ashore in South Texas, Daniel Lumpkin of Lampasas was in Johnson City passing along buckets of cleaning supplies for flood victims. Each "flood bucket" contained a complete cleaning kit for a flooded house, down to clothes pins and a clothes line for drying laundry when power is out. Lumpkin chose to put together flood buckets as an Eagle Scout project, recruiting help from his brother and fellow Scout, John, and members of First United Methodist Church in Lampasas, where his father, George, serves as pastor. Because he was leaving town for Scout camp as the hurricane hit, Daniel handed the 42 buckets to disaster response volunteers at First United Methodist Church in Johnson City, who ferried them to the Methodist Center in San Antonio where relief efforts were being assembled.
