CCR Facebook Group

I have started a Facebook Group for CCR – any CCR member can join. The purpose of the group is to provide an informal way to :

ask for recommendations from fellow CCRers about doctors, repair people, cleaning people, etc.

comment on movies seen recently, and CCR lectures

let people know about upcoming events of possible interest

get rid of things you no longer want

borrow things from fellow CCRers

any anything else legal you can think of!

To join, just send me an email at anne.fortson@comcast.net and tell me your Facebook name and I will give you access to the group.

Thanks!
