    I still have families in CPSD, but my office has moved to downtown Tacoma. I’d like to refer some families for the Holiday Fair. Can you please forward me whatever forms/contact numbers I need to use?
    Also I’m available to volunteer for the event (as I did the Back to School event). Let me know what I can do!
