CCRA 60th Year
Anniversary Celebration Ideas
As many of
you are aware, 2009 is the CCRA’s 60th Anniversary and we have
been considering a number of ideas of how to celebrate this milestone.
It is also the Port Union Community Centre’s 25th year of
operation. To recognize this event, we have been talking about a possible
idea of a picnic in September, and perhaps renting a large tent for the
front of the Port Union Community Centre to hold it...Read

Ghana Project '08
2nd Highland Creek Venturers
Time flies, and our
memories are so strong it seems impossible that more that 5 months will
have passed by the time you read this.
To begin, we would
like to express our sincere thanks for all the support offered – without
our generous community’s help we could not have met our goals for this
project and certainly could have never been there in person to see them
come to fruition. A special thanks is owed to the CCRA whose assistance
went beyond financial, their offer to publish our updates all through
last year and finally this wrap up note has helped to connect us to the
community. We hope you enjoy the stories below – but as they say; you
HAD to be there!
Our project was a
success! By the time we left the building was 99.9% complete and the
Ghana
Scout Association in
Tamale had a new lap top to plan, research, learn and communicate with.
