I am back and I had a GREAT vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Got this inquiry this morning, help Shea if you can!

Hey Cheryl,

Our Learning Center is in quite desperate need to hire CDL bus drivers.  I am even willing to train them to get the license, but someone already holding a license is best.  Do you know of any churches in our district that may have licensed drivers that I may contact?  Or, do you have any means of advertising the position we have available?  Any information you have will be helpful.

I hope your trip was amazing!

 

Have a great day!
