Hi, hope you’re keeping well. My name is Cecile and I am a journalist at the European Broadcasting Union in Washington.

I live near the Dulles Expo Center. I am sorry that I cannot donate time-feeling stretched by other volunteer commitments–though we have Stuff, I can buy Stuff, and I can donate the ever versatile $$.
Yours in peace, Sue Marcus
