[Communications] Welcome to CCGA's Website

[JW Glass]

Hi All,

Sara, can you send us some potential times you could meet on the CCGA site?
We are looking to meet later this week Wed-Friday and then once a week
after that for a few weeks...

We would meet online in our Zoom room, Mamie will be joining us as she is
getting trained as well. We’ll start with event support:  making post/event
entries and handling images. I can generally do days or evenings, Mamie
will come to my house for the meeting.

Thanks.  JW
