  AYFs-
This job announcement will soon be forthcoming from the AFSC National Office
(in Phila.). I think it would be fantastic if a younger person filled this
position, so if you feel led or know someone who might be, pass this widely!

Here is a job announcement for a newly created position with AFSC that I
