Elizabeth,

When I tried to post correspondence on the DLIA web page my computer locked up so I'll reply here. I think we need to get from volunteers some idea of what they are interested in... field work, assisting collecting and sorting, data entry, word processing and other less physically demanding jobs and their availability. Can this be captured in a spreadsheet that could be searched (assuming huge numbers of volunteers, etc). By the same token, we could ask those in need of help to list their needs, when, where etc. That could guide those seeking to participate. Also, we need a means to thank volunteers for their effort... Charles Maynard could help here by telling us what FOS does.

More as I think of it.

Frank
