2 1/2 hours and you can pick any day you want to go. Each individual person
has to attend if they think they may want to help out later. If you are even
the least bit interested in helping to raise money for our chapter, let Jaime
know. It’s
a great way to raise money, listen to some live music, and have fun with other
members of NJCF. Thanks!” --
