[OMS_MANAGERS] Good News to Share

Tue Oct 20 16:07:43 PDT 2020

I'm trying to get some help for starting an OMS program in Cave Junction.
I've tried 2 times for a RARE Americorps volunteer. No luck. We are at the
Exploring Downtown level. Any ideas.

Thanks,

Meadow Martell, Mayor City of Cave Junction
