a Hearty welcome, Melinda.

There is a manual that you can read to get you started. I've been volunteering 
for several years but only recently read the manual, since I thought I knew 
what was in it, Tb I did learn some new things. However, I'm the kind of person 
that if I were new and read it I'd be overwhelmed. What I would do, I'd read 
one section at a time, and then read just the part that pertained to me, i.e., 
if I were going to scan, I'd read that section--and then I'd probably start and 
if I had a question I'd go back to the manual and look for the answer, and if 
that didn't help, I'd ask here on the list.--but that's just me, because I get 
intimidated by lots of insttructins at one time. smile
