A short time ago a forwarded email came to me asking if I knew anyone in need of help. There was a church group who wanted to help some of their fellow Abbotsfordians in getting on their feet and moving forward with their lives.

Apparently it is an opportunity to get out and socialize, network and exchange ideas with others who have green sensibilities [do we have green thumbs, or green souls?]

I hope !i will meet some changeeverything folks out there, since I have heard that some were particularly keen on hooking up with like-minded types.
