Thanks John - I defe to Dennis/Mike re the fundraising piece. The questions
about changes to events re shifts and so on is something we hear very
often. We do however have a monthly call - pasting the link below so
everyone has it. The next one is on Monday the 14th at 8:30 PM. I linked
Susan up last night with Lisa C who is being deployed to Nevada and is
going to be working with the CA folks on out of state recruitment. Below is
the monthly call so everyone has a copy of it - will make sure Susan has it.

join our monthly call to learn more about upcoming opportunities. Sign up
