Nicole, Have you been introduced to us? When I started to write the address I see I have in my address book Nicole for Pavi, so I guess the answer is yes. But I see that below you say you're part of the Volunteeer program. Whatever you are, welcome. Have you replaced Pavi, or Rick? I may have missed the announcement of your coming on board, or forgotten Whatever, you're welcome; you have a polite and calming way of writing. Please let us (or me, if I'm the only one who doesn't know) you're position and whenyuou joined bookshare/benetech.
