Thanks for offering Logan :)

I will put your name down for the July Monthly, as you would be a member (active, I hope!) for 9 months by then.

I haven't been a part of the group long but I would love to assist any of the hosts. I can help keep track of various things. I'm very organized and detailed. Plus I'm a stay at home mom so I have lots of free time :)

[Fran, Moderator]

Thanks so much Gianna!

I will definitely keep you in mind for any hosting/assisting that comes up...I will keep in touch!
