Roger Eaton, President of CCI. Here I am, calling for your help. Join us! Ask what you can do.
Patricia Rowuin, Secretary of CCI and Editor of our CCI newsletter.
From the beginning of time, man and woman has had the need to communicate with one another. Cave paintings told stories of great events. The use of art continued to tell stories for centuries.
Today it is easier to communicate. Take a look around, computers, cell phones, fax machines to name a few. Letters from children around the world who are pen pals. The list goes on and on, but you get the picture.
As your editor, it is my hope to keep an open dialogue between the people on the Web page and people who read our newsletter. So let's start communicating. We would love to hear from you!!!

of CCI Board.
Cheryl, better known as "Mom" to Chris the aspiring artist and Robert the runner, keeps the books for our favorite cruise company. When not running from general ledger to the grocery store, Cheryl's time is spent with her boys and soon to be permanent better half, or experimenting on how to get the best results from the latest batch of fertilizer. Is there anyone out there with some gardening tips? |
