SPECIFIC HELP NEEDED FOR A NEW PROJECT
 – Lenore Barnett who is heading up the creation of a new Event Location Directory, would like to hear from volunteers wishing to help.  We have a one-page location information sheet to fill out for each location we visit.  And we are interested in having at least two locations in each outlying municipality so we can move around the County.  There are numerous sites in Hendersonville proper to explore.  If you want to help, please call Lenore at 696-3132. 

HAVE YOU FILLED OUT YOUR VIA?  PLEASE DO!  (And thanks to the many volunteers we already have working in many areas!)    Find the Volunteer in Action Interest Profile in a blue file in a box on the desk at HQ; put your completed form in the red folder where it will be shared with leaders whose areas you checked.  Precinct work, election work, phoning, 2-hour office duty, are just a few of the important "job openings" we have currently!  Do the "Profile" and call Nancy at 606-5201.  (Nancy will be away until Jan 19).

SHARING ENCOURAGEMENT – Send out your good vibes to those among us who are experiencing challenges ... when one or more of the family is down for one reason or another, let us know how we can help as needed and support you!  Gayle Kemp sends cards out from HCDP also!
