Doreen Pendgracs on CJOB68

Just got an update from Doreen Pendgracs, the author of "Before You Say Yes..."

Hi everyone: I will be on Barbara Bowes's show on CJOB68 radio at 10:00 am CST on Sunday, Jan 16, talking about volunteerism and my book. 

cjob.com is the website. 

Not sure if they will be livestreaming the show for those of you out of MB, but I think you can listen live online. 

Please tune in if you can. I welcome any feedback on my performance, as I'm always looking to improve!

Thanks and have a super weekend!

Doreen also has a fabulous blog!   Check it out!!
