[Rotary] Sunshine Queen Home Again

[John Cottle]

A giant thank you to Harold!

If Harold agrees to supervise the list it is much appreciated.  Should
he wish to set a time line on when to pass this duty on to another,
give the word.  I am hoping that another volunteer will take this job
as keeper of the list, such that we can provide seamless support to
Wilma for the first month.  By then a long term arrangement should
have been made with paid help.

Service above self!

President John
