5. WMUB drive - calling volunteers!
The co-op has sent volunteers to staff the phones for a 4 hour time slot
during the WMUB (NPR radio) member drive.  From March 26th through April
2nd, the Spring drive is taking place once again.  If there is volunteer
interest, we are willing to take a group down for one of the morning
