Stand Down is one short week away! We are in need of hair cutters, so if you know anyone willing to donate time, please have them send me a message! Also, please notate transportation changes this year. There are limits in each direction on how far the vans will pick up and drop off. If you are outside these limits, you will need to take a bus to the downtown Dart station and call for transport. Details are on the flyer.
