I just heard from the compiler for Northern Wright County count on January 1st that they still need volunteers. To get contact and other information go to Moumn.org/CBC and choose the "CBC Calendar" or "CBC Location" to lo look up a CBC by clicking on count on calendar or on the circle on the map or entering its name.
