Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

On behalf of the CCGA National Board of Directors, Id like to take this opportunity to wish all the best to our members and their families, to our partners and friends and to the CCGA staff members across the country.

Christmas is and has always been an extraordinary time for sharing and giving. It is also a time for peace, love and goodwill among human kind. It is the season for celebration and for renewal. It is a time for us to forget the things that have divided us during the course of the year and to celebrate the things that binds us together as a community and people.

May this holiday season come to represent an oasis of warmth. Let it be a time for hope and renewed promise, of joyful expectation for young and old alike, a time for the giving and receiving of gifts, especially the greatest gifts of love and friendship.
