Fundraiser in December
At the December meeting we held a fundraiser for the CMSA Foundation Peggy Leonard Memorial Fund and raised a total of $240 from raffle tickets and private donations.We want to thank everyone who participated under the Ambassador Program (Pat Agius is the Chapter Rep) on the drive the Chapter led on 12/12 with the assistance of the National Committee Chair, Jose' Santoro for the CMSA Foundation in honor of Peggy Leonard, who sadly we lost late last year. Peggy was a true mentor, inspiring Case Manager & Leader.
