The Monthly Corcoran News Will Continue, With Your Help
Based on strong turnout to exploratory meetings, the CNO Board moved to continue the Corcoran News as a monthly newspaper, to be published by a volunteer team of residents with limited staff support. The Board plans to evaluate this process again in September, with hopes that the volunteer energy continues. The next meeting is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 9 at 6:30 pm at CNO. See you there!
