GREAT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

Haven’t you always wanted to contribute an hour or so of your time to helping get this newsletter out?  Well, now’s your chance.  Cece is looking for a few good people who can learn how it’s all put together and fill in for her from time to time, and/or people who might be interested in helping fold the newsletter once a month.  It only takes an hour (or an hour and a half at the most) usually during the last week of the month.  Contact Cece at jimncece@yahoo.com if you’re interested.  Thanks!
