2010 Cookie Stroll

On May 7, 2010, CMC had it's annual Cookie Stroll fundraiser. They were able to raise $1,300 for the Penrickton Center for Blind Children. It was a great fundraiser with a lot of help from the kids, their families, the staff, and other volunteer help. On Wednesday, May 12, Mrs. Tami was able to present the check to a child at Penrickton along with Mayor Jeff Lamarand. Below are some pictures from the Cookie Stroll. We were also able to get some pictures at the Penrickton Center.
