We have to have enough members to staff the three booths (for two shifts 2-6PM and 6-10PM) on 5 Saturdays, May 5, 12, 19 & 26 and June 2.

The Post received an overwhelming response from our membership for providing their email addresses.   We now have 148 email addresses that we can use instead of mailing hard copies of our newsletter.   However, that still leaves us a total of 345 mailings (including the Post and Aux).  This is a considerable saving to our printing and mailing costs.
