Hi everyone, this is not Ohio Society related, but rather I'd like to
extend to the members a few volunteer opportunities with Queen for a
Day as listed below.  I apologize if the formatting is off.  If you
are interested, please email capitalq...@gmail.com with the position
of interest and your relevant experience.  2008 is going to be a great
year for QFAD and I hope you'll consider serving pediatric cancer
patients in the area through our group (www.capitalqfad.org).

The first QFAD meeting of 2008 will be held January 8 from 6 - 7:30
PM.  If you are chosen for a committe, I will email you the location
of the meeting.  Again this is NOT an Ohio Society meeting, but I'd
love to see Ohioans get more involved in the DC chapter of Queen for a
Day!  Branda
