THANK YOU! Mary Buhl was recognized for her contribution to CMW for the many years she has volunteered to be the Website Administrator and was presented with a thank you card from the group. She and Paula Tift, her replacement, presented information and a demonstration of the new website. A special thank you to Gordon Schrank for his expertise and equipment used to project the website screen for all to view. Please take time to review the Website and subscribe on the main page and under “Up Next”!
