** HSA Question of the Month **
"Will someone contact me after I turn in a reply form?"
In a word, Yes! Every person who turns in a reply form will either receive a phone call/email with more information, or a Thank You note stating the positions have been filled. We like to give everyone a chance to get involved somehow, so we tend to fill roles based on overall volunteer participation.
It may take up to 2 weeks to receive a response. If at any time you have a question, please contact the office and they can direct you to the proper person. |
Thank You!
 Kristin Bradley and Kim Zelko for helping with Picture Day.

Sincerely,
The Faculty and Staff of JMS | |
