Dear Members,
We were overjoyed with the turnout we had for the CCBA Georgia Historical Marker Dedication on May 19th. Many former members traveled long distances to be here which made this event very special and we appreciate everyone who came out to support us.
Here are links to the media coverage (thank you Danielle for compiling them) and YouTube video and photos (thank you Hector and Si-Long.)
