I'll send you her contact info this week. I need your email address again offline, as I gave you business card to someone who was looking for information. I told her you were with the Arizona chapter, but she could still contact you for more info and direction.
I get people asking me for info all the time. I thinkI need to grab some of those little pocket info cards from Rachel, as I have handed out no less than ten of those in the past month or so.
Anyway, talk to you more this week!
xoxox,
P

My email is shall@nccc-online.org.
Rachel re-routes it to my home email but this address is the easiest one to remember.
Stock up on the info cards, I hand them out like crazy too!
