Greetings One and All. You may or may not be aware of all of the great gifts that LINCS offers members and, in many cases, non-members as well. Feel free to complete this Scavenger Hunt. If there are items that stump you, just drop a note into this forum for a ready answer or suggestion. If you still have a question, drop in here and ask it!  If you want a copy of this Hunt with answers, email me for a quick reply.

If you have other LINCS resources that might be helpful but are not listed here, again, drop in with a note to share your gift. Thanks! Leecy (leecywise@gmail.com)
