It's been a while since we've done a CCAA update, so we want to let you all know what's in the works. The CCAA Board had a conference call Sunday night to plan our upcoming in-person meeting on April 19th and discuss recent events involving the Chanco Board.

We are very close to getting everything set up to legally accept dues and be tax-exempt. We will let you know when we are ready to start our membership drive.

The Fall Alumni Reunion is scheduled for October 10-12th at Chanco on the James. One of the big topics for our April meeting is the planning and running of the reunion. We'll keep you all posted on what we plan and we will be calling on volunteers to help out.

We are also still working on ways that we can help the mission of Camp Chanco in light of recent events. It is no secret that we are disappointed that the Executive Director position was eliminated, however our main goal here is ensuring the continued existence of Chanco. One of the things that we talked about was supporting the Camp Chanco Open Houses that are coming up. Although details will have to be filled in, the CCAA board is willing to contribute in time and manpower. And we will continue our discussion on this.

As always, please keep Chanco in your prayers,

Ann Krannitz

CCAA President
