| Casseroles for SOME, the homeless shelter in DC |
Our databanks are overloaded, and so are our brains – and sometimes we forget. So – could you please ask everyone who routinely delivers casseroles for SOME, the homeless shelter in DC, to send an e-mail to jsbaer@cox.net. That way we can accumulate a list and send out reminders every month. (original idea from Ms. Deedy) Thanks, Shirley & John Baer |
