Volunteer's Information:

I work a full time job and a part time job. I am very good about lookups, but sometimes slow. If I commit to a look up, I WILL do it. If it is a terrible week (I work for a charity full time, and have processed 1000 Christmas requests, and given out 100 turkeys this week), sometimes, I will be slow, but I will acknowledge your request, and will get to it as quickly as I can.
