"Collection
Counters/Recorders Needed
Many thanks to those folks who have signed up for
counting /recording collection over the next few weeks. However, that time will
pass by quickly & I am hopeful that we can soon have the
"counters sheet" filled in at least to the end of June. A copy of the
guidelines for counters has been left near the sign up sheet to give those
considering signing up an over view of what is involved.
It is a straight forward process & a calculator is
provided for those who, like myself, may be mathematically challenged.
Please sign up. The load gets lighter when many helping hands participate.
Thank you,
Clark Brander, Chair, Trustees &
Finance."
