If anyone in the neighborhood has difficulty getting to the post office, grocery store, dry cleaners, etc., during inclement weather or due to an illness or disability, there is a group of your neighbors who stand ready to make that trip for you. During the next several months, an effort will be made to update the list. To make space for articles and news, a hard copy of the list will only be printed in the newsletter every two or three months. Please call Dave Smith (704.987.1472) if you wish to be included.
The list is found in the print version of the December, 2008 newsletter and online if you're logged in to the members' area.
