CALL OUT TO CURRENT/PAST VOLUNTEERS !!
*********

Mary G. and Michelle J. (our Co-op and Cafe co-managers, respectively) will be on vacation from March 19th through the 27th and Gibson and Mark REALLY need your help! If you are a current or past volunteer and can help pick up an extra shift to keep the Co-op running smoothly while our Illustrious Ladies are away it would ROCK OUR SOCKS OFF! Gibson is asking for extra help on Monday (when our inventory comes in) in particular! Please contact Mark C or Gibson C at the Co-op by calling 424 264 7933 to sign up!

Thanks in advance to all our volunteers, without you we would not exist!!
