NewsLady Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 There have been some last minute changes in the Peace Corp program at the BCP on Tuesday, Dec. 5. Sadly Laura fractured her shoulder and will be in Panama City for a while, but Emily from Rio Sereno will be taking her spot. And unfortunately Matt cannot make it but Marianna Corckill from Salitral is replacing him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
