Hi Everyone,
Just want to let you know about this great volunteer opportunity. It's a
relatively small operation, so it's nice and cozy. And it's only in the morning.
I have been volunteering there this summer, but will be leaving soon to go to
school. So they are really looking for some people to help out.
