IF2 Status 07-09

[Raymond Cantwell]

Hey all,
I would love to volunteer my time and effort to IF2, I am currently 
working in my old career again ( as a Chef ) and have a lot of contacts 
in the Culinary field here in the valley, I may  be able to get some 
Chefs i know to rustle up some grub for the voluteers.
