2.  LINK TO ANEDOT:  Complete the Certification Form and make a donation to Martha Marx via credit card:  ALL online!

3.  REQUEST from Martha for  volunteers from each DTC in her District to help with phone calls to members this week.  If every DTC member makes a contribution this weekend we will hit our goal.  If every chair and leader gets 5 additional donations it would be a great help.  If you can volunteer to make 5 calls this weekend, send me an email duchess06475@gmail.com and I will send you a name list.
