Creative Competitions Update

CCI is happy to announce its successful move into its new office in Sewell, N.J. The transition would not have gone as smoothly without the help of many people including some kind-hearted volunteers who didn't mind getting their hands dirty during renovations.

   Ken Rasbach flew to the new location two times from Florida (even braving some cold weather!). Long-time Odyssey volunteer Wayne Otte took time off from helping the New York state association to help renovate. Another Odyssey volunteer, Dave Firman, N.J. also offered countless hours of help. All three Odyssey friends and volunteers definitely put in some hard work and creative problem solving during this time.

   Another huge thanks goes to all Odyssey members. Everyone was extremely patient during the move and always offered good luck and best wishes. CCI is very thankful for friends new and old!
