[Communications] Welcome to CCGA's Website

[Lorraine Kells]

Sorry, my  phone rang and I didn't finish that email. Often an event post
or calendar item may have a larger story, a follow up that merits or
becomes a page post. I can give examples if need be, but it's why all three
of you need to be on the zoom with Sarah. Hope you can find a time soon.

Thanks,
Lorraine
