Organizing … Specialized!

Public Group active 5 days, 22 hours ago ago

Organizing…Specialized is group where we help each other with the home organizing challenges we face raising children with special needs. While our moderator is a Professional Organizer, she is not able to personally address each question raised, especially as the group grows. We can all share our tips, offer suggestions and help one another. Leslie will address as many questions as she can, but please remember she is our volunteer moderator.

    Back to the temple art room today for my volunteer organizing project for GO (get organized) MONTH. The education director has allowed me to donate extra supplies to SCARCE (School and Community Assistance for Composting and Recycling Education). There are so many great organizations out there!
