Hi all,

The text below is from the attached document in the event you can't read the attached PDF file. I've been volunteering with Jackie's office this week trying to help as much as I could. We put together this newsletter with info about services available in Algiers. It's the second issue of a newsletter she's distributing with the assistance of the National Guard.
