office well this isnt a fulltime job the schomberg resi dent said for that amount of money theres a lot more work than what s involved you want to go to the social functions you want to be aware of the situation in your community and these days we represent a large geographic area i think parents are more aware of whafs going on and as a result theres a higher expection to be informed still
