VIDEO and news _______________ Volunteers Find out what you can do to promote and work in Catholic Media Volunteers are needed to help out at some of these Parish Book Exhibits. If you’re parish is listed in the next column, email or call me if you’d like to get involved at one or more of the weekend Masses. Contact me even if your parish is not listed, but you would like to help in the distribution of religious books and articles. Do you have computer or other communication and media skills or interests? Let me know about these things and your interests. There’s lots of work to be done in Catholic Media. I could use some serious help as I set up a new Bar-Code book and stock tracking system on my computer. I have a start on this, but I have a far ways to go inputting our list of books and religious supplies, ISBN numbers, item numbers, as well as figuring out how all these components work together. I need guidance as I figure out how the hand held bar code scanner communicates information with the Red Beam Inventory Tracking program on my computer. Authors & Illustrators: Do you have a published work you would like promoted at our Exhibits? I’d like to discuss the possibility of having you present your books in person, sign and work on a consignment basis. Book content must be compatible with, and respecting of, general family values. Email me using the click at the top of the page, call or write me. -- Bro. Joshua _______________ VISITING IN NEW YORK CITY OR THE GENERAL AREA? See if you can pay me a visit.
