[Flyingbrickvolunteers] updates and all-volunteer meeting for march

[Nicole Introvert]

I would love to come out to meetings, however; I feel they are scheduled
more towards folks with a college schedule or a different working schedule
than I have.   Unfortunately, I have a cut & dry schedule of 8:30 til
5:00 Mon - Thurs & 6:00 Fridays and cannot sway from that.
If other times are scheduled I would love to be able to work on the
library.  Having been involved with zines since 1996, I feel that I have a
lot to offer the group.
