The Gift of CCCHS Greetings CCCHS Members, As December hits the calendar and the holidays approach, we’re wrapping up another successful year of CCCHS. I would like to extend my warmest gratitude to our wonderful board of directors and all the work they do behind the scenes to make CCCHS so successful. I would also like to thank each of you as our members and member organizations. CCCHS is truly a gift to our community and has been for over half a decade. If you think about the collaborative nature of our organization and how we’ve helped one another and our neighbors, it’s remarkable! Our December meeting will be in person on Wednesday at Calvary Church at 12 PM. Please bring your lunch and listen to speakers from Centre Peace and Bridge of Hope of Centre County. We will also learn about our Robert Ott Seed Grant recipients for 2021. We will not meet in January, but we are planning an in-person meeting to kick-off the new year of CCCHS on February 2, 2022. Please invite a colleague (or two or three) to join us as our guests for this meeting to help drive our membership for 2022! And finally, The Centre Daily Times is working on collecting and sharing information for local non-profits about their needs this holiday season. Please complete their online form to be included in the list. Happy Holidays! Melissa Bottorf CCCHS President PA Link to ADRC |
