Membership Drive and Registration coming soon...
In the next few weeks we're planning to update our Membership list and create a seachable list of members and interests. For example, if you indicate you like painting or hair styling, we'll find your name when we're searching for that particular skill.
When you receive the emailed form, please add your details and interests and click the 'Submit' button. It's easy, you'll be up to date, and ready to participate in about 60 seconds. We love the Internet!
