[Community-service] Speakers/ National Organizations

[Michelle Clark]

I have done volunteer work with a  Catholic Charities organization called
SHARE". They have a great long list of centers but do not remember if that
was just here in the DC Metro area. Has anyone else heard of them? For sure
they would allow us to volunteer. At one point, I had worked to get the
Chapter in which I am President to come out and volunteer, but the dates
would not work for us.
