Well, it really hsn't been front of mind for us here at CCB, either. If you haven't heard, there is a CCB Alumni Committee, which includes some current staff members. Charles Bennett, our Employment Specialist, is tasked with coordinating with alumni. We communicate via our database list and you may be getting those emails. But some of you might not be. We just added the email of a 1997 graduate. Pretty cool, but of course we weren't collecting email addresses in 1997 because so few of us had them then. So, if you are getting our emails, you can stop reading here. If not, I'll paste a plea below to give us your email and some other info about what you've been up to. Oh, and you can always reply to me off the list at dburke at cocenter.org # # # Hello CCB Alumni Family, The Colorado Center for the Blind is committed to growing its community of alumni through the dynamic work of our CCB Alumni committee. Whether you graduated from CCB recently or years ago, we want to stay in touch with you. We’ll make sure we keep you up to date on the latest at CCB and upcoming alumni activities. If you are a CCB graduate and are not currently receiving our emails, we would love to hear from you. Please go to our CCB Reconnect form and give us info about yourself, including your email address, or send a quick message to alumni at cocenter.org. Then we can add you to our distribution list. *Ways We Stay Connected* We offer regular opportunities to stay engaged with CCB and its alumni community: * Monthly Alumni Calls (via Zoom): First Saturday of each month | 10:00 – 11:30 AM (MT) where you will hear from fellow alums and current staff * Weekly Philosophy Discussions: Every Friday | 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM (MT) * CCB Alumni Facebook group: Join our active and growing online community to connect and share resources Please help us spread the word. We are especially excited to hear from those who were students in the 1980s and 1990s – before many of us used email! If you know fellow CCB alumni who may not be connected, please share this message and invite them to reach out, too. To reconnect, use the CCB Reconnect form And finally, a big thank you to our CCB Alumni Committee for all of their great work to bring so many of you together!
