Welcome to the CCB happenings for February 22.
From The Editor:
At long last the logistical items are in place to fully change the name from the California Connection to the CCB Happenings. Items for submission can now be sent to ccb.happenings@ccbnet.org
Anyone who is currently subscribed to the Connection email list will be getting a notification in the next couple of days that you have been subscribed to the new ccb_happenings email list.
Thank you for your patients while we have been getting things set up for this to be a seamless transition.
