Equality NC has been collecting postcards signed by North Carolinians to tell their legislators that they oppose a constitutional amendment which restricts the rights of LGBT North Carolinians.   Now the 1000's of cards need to be sorted by legislator.   This is where CUCC comes in. Come to the CUCC fellowship hall this Monday evening (July 11), anytime between 6-9pm to lend your hand in sorting.  We'll be joined by Equality NC volunteers from all over the state.   Expect laughter, snacks, and a chance to meet interesting people.  Bring a friend.   If you can read a name, alphabetize, and walk/roll, you have the skills needed. A great volunteer opportunity for folks who don't like to drive in the dark or for families with older children & youth; work for a while, then head home.
