Name Tags Available!
Holly McDonough has taken on the task of look at various alternatives, and has made an arrangement with a name tag vendor which will allow any CCA member to order name tags and to have them shipped directly to you. This arrangement will avoid the more complex logistics of group orders which we have placed in the past. We have had several members, including the McDonoughs, order these tags as a trial run and they report that the process is simple and efficient.

Follow her efforts at ...
