Greetings, Listers.
Wynnie here...

First, apologies to those who may receive duplicate copies of this
posting due to cross-subscriptions on the lists.

Second, some of you may have seen this before; it has a new twist.

If you, like me, would like to ship a small parcel of supplies to this
group to help the Ice Dragons Slay the School Supply Beast, then
please contact me privately for the address and contact information of
the coordinator if this effort.

Also, think of your own local areas; school supplies are needed year
round, not just in August/September at the beginning of the year.
Contact your local board of Education to get information on schools
with special needs students.

How great would it be to be able to say you helped "slay the beast" ?!

In Service and In Rhythm, 
Wynnie
