Hi Faith,

Do you need more volunteers for errands, etc.  I'm allowing
credit for a class exercise for my media literacy students
if they help with this.  I sent them to the webpage for
registration and gave them a sheet a coordinator of this has
to sign for their credit.

If they do ALOT of work, it is okay with me if the
coordinator says they went above and beyond what was asked
(I might increase the credit) but I'm not advertising that.

Ivy
