We just found out that our wonderful scheduler will not be able to help this time. This is a one time job that should only take a few evenings to complete. The job involves calling volunteers from a list and scheduling them into one or more 2 hour block. If you have the time and can help we would greatly appreciate it! Please e-mail Audrey at: charvat-drew_audrey@asdk12.org or call 742-8711 to volunteer.
Thanks!
