Welcome to the CEC!



Turning 60 feels pretty good!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Terri Shockley’s birthday!  The party was a wonderful gathering of friends, old and new, who brought poetry, performances, and pledges of support for the CEC.  In lieu of birthday gifts Terri requested that donations and monthly pledges be made to the CEC, and we successfully raised over $2000.

We appreciate your support!
