OTHER
We are looking for volunteers that have photography skills and would be willing to be on a list we would maintain for when we have photography needs arise. Our new website will need some professional photos throughout the year to keep it fresh, and we would also love to have some “go-to” people to help take pictures at events, times we are in the community, etc. Are you interested or do you know someone who enjoys taking pictures? E-mail Lindy for more information.

Some simple ways to show support during the holiday season

Shop Amazon through the Smile.Amazon.com page and Amazon will donate .05% of what you spend to the Colon Cancer Prevention Project. Be sure to look for us!
