   I started a message thread as you'd suggested, but then realized that our    
   NerxtDoor has a "helping others" feature built in.  Might be why I had so few    
   responses from potential volunteers/donors - they're likely already keyed in    
   there.  At least I raised awareness of the possibility of using NextDoor to   
   be  helpful. . .
