Auburn EWGA member is looking for a room to rent

 "I am Sally Saunders, founding President of the Gold Country/Auburn Chapter.  I have a new job in San Francisco and am looking for part-time housing.  I would like to rent a room if possible.  My plan is to take the ferry to SF from Vallejo, Monday through Friday, and drive home after work on Friday (to Auburn).  I would probably be occupying the room Monday through Thursday night. 
 
I am contacting you to see if any of your members might have a room to rent, or know of someone in the Vallejo area that has a room to rent.  I can pay $500 per month.  I could take up residence the week after Thanksgiving.  Thanks sooo much and Happy Thanksgiving."
 
Sally can be reached at scooterbug@usamedia.tv  or by cell phone at (530) 906-4602.
