Measurable Outcome(s)

The audience was very enthusiastic. Lots of smiles and nods and enjoyable reactions to the stories. Interest in the display of CCC memorabilia and the presenter's books. The young children stayed engaged for most of the program. From an email after the program: "The presenter today was outstanding." Attendees gained knowledge and understanding about the CCC and the work they did and how MN benefitted.
