Call for Volunteers

SynerGeo is looking for volunteers to help with programs. Also looking
for CSX employees. CSX gives $10 an hour to SynerGeo for every hour an
employee volunteers. This would really help us since money is even
tighter this year.

Please pass this on to any CSX employees you may know, who might want to
volunteer with kids.

thanks.
