RE: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2002 convention
Hey,
I live near Boise, Idaho but have family in Portland, OR...I would love to
volunteer to help out over at OMSI, it would also give me a chance to visit
my family :-) I am new to this group and would love to build a sub in the
next 2 yrs (after tons of research, of course) but would be willing to jump
right in to help with a convention...
