[Magdalen] Remote Area Medical

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thanks so much, Eleanor! Yes, I volunteered in a couple of clinics in 2016–one of them with Jay—and I had signed up for the one in Grundy this year, but had to cancel. 

Grundy had such a problem with flooding over the years that a few years ago they moved the whole town to higher ground! Still a sad little place, though; I went through there last summer.
