    I am very interested in the Community Tool Box, especially interested in the section of Promoting Awareness of Health and Commnity Development Issues and Community Resources and everything that follows. I would like to have a hard copy of this information. A lot of the people that we work with does not have access to internet so for them it will be hard. I think the information provided is so important and vital I would really would like for them to have it. Printing from the computer takes a lot of time, there is editing and formating to do, and its time consuming. If there is a way I can have a hard copy of this information or some way I can have it I would appreciate it very much, and I know our lay-people too. Hope to hear from you soon, Thank You.
