PA Clearance Required (Instructions)
Any students interested in cashiering at the book sale (who have their clearances) can contact Anne Cash at annecash@comcast.net to find out what time slots are available. Last year 20 slots were filled by CHC students — we hope by requiring clearances we won’t lose too many. Anne has already sent out a desperate need request!
