Volunteer Week Three

This past week was the last week for people sixty two or older to get their lifetime National Parks Senior Pass for the cheap, cheap price of ten dollars. As of Monday 8/28 the price will rise to $80. Even at eighty dollars it is a steal. Ten dollars is unbelievably cheap. Ever since the […]
