Hello BOOYAH! volunteers!
I hope everybody had happy holidays and a happy new
year. December's BOOYAH! projects were a great
success. I look forward to volunteering with many of
you as the New Year begins. We have some great
projects lined up for January including two Disney
Day projects. Unfortunately they are all full at the
moment but you can monitor their status and get more
information
here.
If you have any questions regarding any of our
BOOYAH! programs or projects, please feel free to
contact me at 617-422-0910 x206 or e-mail me at
plewis@bostoncares.org.
