CaRCC Annual Community Update (Former CaRCC Parade) on Feb 24
|
With CaRCC’s transition to becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we have renamed and formalized the annual CaRCC Parade to become the CaRCC Annual Community Update. Join us on Tuesday, February 24 from 3:30-5pm ET for our annual community meeting and update about CaRCC activities. Hear updates from CaRCC groups and People Network tracks, and learn what’s coming up this year. There will be an update from the CaRCC Transitional Board about our progress toward obtaining 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, and an opportunity for community members to ask questions. |
