President's Corner

Hello CCCHS Members!

Have you ever opened your inbox and had a moment? You know, that aha moment where the choir of angels are singing in the background, rays of sunshine are beaming off the page, and you are greeted with a well-organized beautiful inbox... 

No, really, you've never experienced that?

Well, neither have I in my own personal inbox (far from it actually), but I recently opened our CCCHS Gmail account and was pleasantly surprised. Karen Lambert from Schlow Library is our new first Vice President and in her role, she checks email and has helped us get organized with colored tabs and labels. Our CCCHS inbox is a well-oiled machine!

I am excited for our Share the Love Membership Meeting on Wednesday and I am even more excited to have Karen as one of our speakers. She will speak about Schlow and share with us some ways small nonprofits can stay organized with gmail and google docs. Tirzah Gibboney will also speak about an upcoming event for Bridges of Hope. 

Remember our February meeting is about sharing the love of council, so I hope you will invite friends and colleagues to join us and learn about all the great things CCCHS membership can offer.
