  2. WOW! This is what we have really needed to put information about our purpose and activities at people’s fingertips! This is fantastic, Katrina! You and Sandra are off to a great start and so is URC this year!

      The website already saved me from making a couple of phone calls! Thanks.

      • I know, this is great for networking and I’ve already made a contact with Debbie Russell about being a building contact for us this year. What could be easier! Kay, we are going to have a meeting August 23, 2011 at Eastwood at 4PM to go over more of this year’s planning! See you soon!
