WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!

There have been approximately 1500 volunteer hours donated to your community, between just the first and second vice president. So far, we have tracked just 20 hours from other volunteers.

As you can see, both Ed and Dave are doing almost all the work. So volunteer already. You will not be tasked with a full time job. You will be appreciated. Thanks so much!
