Phone Book Pickup in Victoria

The new phone book is done and printed! 

It needs picking up in Victoria, at #2 – 2745 Bridge Street, between 8:30 – 4:00 Thursday or Friday of this week. 

If anyone is able to do this for us, please let me know, and I'll send you the order number, which you'll need. I'm told there are 4 boxes, roughly 40 lbs each. I'm sure you'll have help getting them into your car, and we'll help unload at this end.) 

Thanks again to anyone who can do this!

All volunteers are rewarded with a yummy lunch and the comradery of their fellow workers.

9:30 – 2:00 (but we’re usually done earlier...)

Job lists will be posted early next week.

We’d love to have you join us!
