Rebuilding Together is a national group so check in your area or with your Area Agency on Aging. i have a feeling meg and other larger organizations around the country do something for their folks as well. we have an estimated 10,000 PWP in this region..wish we could help them all. maxine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn * * * Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
