Website News - May 6th 2012

If any corps does not have a designated person or needs assistance with posting news to their news page, I will be happy to continue posting the news on their behalf.

To make this possible, please ensure to add me to your email mailing list or just email the news directly to my main address as had been done in the past.

Also, for the donation page, (Donating to your Corps) I require mailing addresses (and/or other information) for 3 of the corps so that they may be added to the page, please and thank you.
