A note from Janita Hinds:
Thanks to all of you who helped make the Richard Hinds Memorial CCO a success last weekend. We raised $11,000 for the Comstock Library. Of that amount $2160 was raised during the auction. Despite the wind and the cold, we had a great CCO. Thanks to all of you who partricipated, judged, assisted with the Judging, the meals preparation and the 42 tournament. There are to many to name. We are starting to plan for next year and hope to make it bigger and better. Janita
Looking forward to this weekend and identifying CCOs.
