Hello Nick, All is well. See you at the camp. Juanita.
Hello Nick,
Yes, Sue and I received your form and sent you an e-mail on April 14 confirming your spot. Juanita
Hi Juanita,
Stacey, Sandy and I completed an application etc, last year to volunteer during first week for 2021. We don’t seem to have any confirmation. Would you be able to help us please?
Take care,
