EMAIL UPDATES AVAILABLE

 
Since Robin's Nest is run by an all volunteer board here in the states, it is very hard to get newsletters out more than quarterly and sometimes we even fall behind in that.  We now have a way to update you more often by email as to when the web site changes or there are prayer requests or updates on the "Nest."  If you would like to be part of this, it does save us money and time, please email Paula at salem@alliancecom.net and she will add your name to our email list.
