Right now though, we need a couple special people with cars and free time during the day to help us get our winter class schedules out to the grade schools of South Minneapolis by Dec. 9th. We do this four times a year and rely on assistance from volunteers to do accomplish the effort. Distribution to the schools is our biggest, most effective means of advertising. A few hours of work this was is a BIG help to our small organization.
