Dear members,
Thank you to all those that attended our CBTU 20th Annual Awards Dinner Dance & Fundraiser! It was a tremendous success. Congratulations to all of the scholarship and award recipients. If you have photos you are willing to share, please email them to [email protected] and we will clean them up and add them to the Album.
Greetings members,
Hope your week has gone well!
Firstly, I want to say thank you for your commitment to the work of CBTU. We have been doing really good work and we will continue to organize our political influence. We still have work to do – and as Rosemary Brown says, “We must open the doors and we must see to it they remain open, so that others can pass through”.
