Project and Task List

At our meeting in October the Ad Hoc committee presented the following list of projects and tasks that need to be accomplished in the ARC.  Everyone was asked to indicate which project and task within a project you would be interested in performing (if you had adequate training).  We didn't get responses from everyone there nor, of course, from those unable to attend.  So, please take a look at the list and let us know your interests, even if you haven’t been through your general orientation yet.  Respond to Linda (lindamartinez@earthlink.net) by November 9. 

 

Thanks,

Linda, Nancy & Rich (your Ad Hoc Committee)
