Re: How about gently used clothing at convention???

[Guest guest]

,

I think it is a great idea and I could get some clothes together. We are

going away today for 10 days and back a few days before the conference, so I

would probably just bring them along. How are you feeling? I was also

wondering if the family from Peru is coming? Can't wait to see you.

Hi,

I don't happen to have much right now but will send/bring some. I can

also volunteer to staff for 1 hour if needed, I 'm just a little
