Below is the message we are using for PPS Pulse, our schools and other community organizations. Please use it for newsletters, listservs, and send it around to your own networks. Please encourage people to register and do so yourself!
We need volunteers to greet, help with registration, stand at the coffee table – send an email to Debbie@cppsportland.org if you would like to help with these important tasks. We’re also looking for door prizes – something educational? Next week: workshop descriptions!
