Volunteers need to be there from 9am to 1pm, but if you can only provide us with a couple of hours, we can still use your help. Please contact Rita Torrens if you are interested in helping. ▪The office has received changes to the Directory since the last printing so we have put an insert in the Directory display rack on the table in the lobby with the new addresses, phone numbers, and emails.
