Volunteers are needed for kids’ activities.
New Business:
PFF Website: Kamala suggested that PFF needed a more expanded website than the current blog site we have now. She indicated that much of PFF’s history is being forgotten. A website could act as an archive of the accomplishments of PFF and well as give up-dates on our current projects. Barbara will research. Dede will bring the photo albums to the next meeting for Kamala.
