Greetings CCCHS! We're so excited to get membership meetings started back up for the fall! The next membership meeting will be on September 4, 2019 at 12pm at Calvary. As a result of feedback received on the membership survey completed last year, we will be making some exciting changes to the format of monthly membership meetings to allow for more networking. Save the Date - our annual Lunch with Legislators will be held on October 2, 2019 at 12pm at Calvary. We're excited to have local legislators present to answer questions and hold valuable dialogue with membership. We encourage all members and agency representatives to attend and come with questions you would like to ask the Legislators. A reminder that the 2019 Robert (Bob) T. Ott Seed Grant applications are available. You can access the application on our website at theccchs.org. This year, there will be up to 2 awardees and up to $5,000 distributed.
