Hello CREW… 💘                                        12-30-18

1 day till  New 🍺 Year  2019

REFLECTING:   😊

Starting the 11th year of  WEEKLY  CHS reunions.

It is usually hard to get people to attend monthly

meetings, but EVERY WEEK for the past 10 years,

  some fun  CHS Alumni  happily get together for

   dinner and to share happenings/future plans.
