The ACDEC Hospitality Committee needs your help! Senator Obama’s campaign has dispatched an unprecedented number of volunteers to Florida to turn out the voters on November 4th! Most are unpaid. We have worked at housing the volunteers and are preparing two meals a day, breakfast (9 am) and supper (7 pm) at Obama headquarters at 901 NW 8th Ave. Please help! SIGN UP NOW to prepare/offer a meal or series of meals, or provide a Publix card to pay for one. Email Jim Conner (jcgator2@aol.com) or Staci Fox (stacifox@hotmail.com)!
