Let Sumi know ASAP of any demonstrating you might have done that can count for Golden Bobbins. We have been asked to turn that report in a bit earlier than usual. Hours, location, date, travel time and set up time also. IOLI needs to show they are a volunteer group in order to retain a tax exempt status.
