Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio has a volunteer opportunity for someone with manuscript publishing skills.

MHCO intends to take this manuscript into an eBook and print format. The manuscript is 120 pages and photos are already in place.
"We are looking for a volunteer with skills to finalize document structure using text-editing skills and online software such as Vellum," said Chris Moser of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio.

For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
