Christmas is coming sooner than you think. It’s not too late for See’s Candy – priced at $27 – 25% less than retail.
An office worker position now open and involves scheduling drivers and covering the front desk. Requires basic computer skills; cooking experience or willingness to train is a plus. Wages are negotiable – ranging from $16-$25, full or part time.
Remember those TV trays in your closet? We could use four or more (gently used), to upgrade our card room.
