Dear Sacramento Valley Return Peace Corps Volunteers,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank SVRPCV for allowing me to sell raffle tickets at one of the adventures in dining and the Goat Roast 2007 events to fundraise money for my work in Cuba. I went with a team of professionals to donate 400 wheelchairs and about 100 walkers to people with disabilities in Santa Clara, Cuba. I am attaching some photos for the group to see. If anyone from the group would like to discuss with me about my experience in Cuba, please contact me at (530) 750-0629. Thank you so much for your support.


Regards,
Shannon Coe

Apartment available

Mark:

If there was some way to forward this Craigslist ad on your Sacramento Peace Corps list, I would be much appreciative.

I am leaving Memorial Day and am still trying to find a reliable tenant for the 27 months I will be gone.

Thanks for whatever you can do.............someone may have a friend that is going through one of those "life transitions" (divorce, losing their home, etc) and could use a quiet place to move into for the immediate future.........
