Help us deliver the finished goods!

    The North Metro is in need of someone who can help make deliveries. You can make a BIG contribution by arranging to pick up goods (preferably at the work meeting) and delivering them to the various locations in the area. Your mileage will probably be tax-deductible. You don't need to know how to knit, crochet, or sew but be able to drive the goods to the hospitals or clinics. Please contact Teresa if you can help us out.

    Specifically, we need somebody to deliver to Community University Health Care Center in Minneapolis (near East Franklin and Bloomington), Person to Person (2100 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis), and Way to Grow (near Highways 55 & 94). All of these 3 need to be done during normal office hours Mon-Fri. These can be done anytime in the week following the 2nd Saturday meeting.
