[Ohio-talk] Volunteer opportunity

[Cindy Conley]

I have agreed to do a volunteer project in the name of the Parents of 
Blind Children of Ohio. We will be helping to sort and organize 
donations at Living Water Ministry in Hamilton. It will take place on 
Monday, January 19 12:30 - 3:00 pm. If anyone is willing and or able 
to come and lend a hand, let me know and I will send you more specific 
information.
