Chess Club –

This is an opportunity to learn some new skills and play different people. My kids attended last year. It was organized well, and they enjoyed it. All ages can attend.

CCHE Looking for Articles –
CCHE is still looking for articles to post on our other blog site: http://cchearticles.blogspot.com it is quite possible that if we get enough we may even make a print anthology out of them. However, if we do not have people interested in posting to this blog – we will be deleting the blog. Please contact me at ccheupates@gmail.com prior to March 31st if you plan on sending in an article for the blog. If I do not receive any emails of interest by then, we will assume that this is not a service that the community is interested in.
Meet Finlandia Day –
Meet Finlandia Day is coming up on Friday, April 1st.
For more information or to RSVP, call (withheld for archive)
Please Help
From Val – This is being forwarded as a non-partisan call to action to help disabled children.
As some of you may be aware, there are now NO medical equipment vendors in the Upper Peninsula that accept Medicaid. This affects 90-95% of the kids with moderate to severe disabilities we serve, who have no other coverage. This is a true crisis for our children. We are asking for your help to spread the word, and encourage as many people as possible to send letters to our representatives at the state and federal level to help with this. We've attached a letter outlying the problem. Feel free to email, print it out and mail it in, and to send it on. If you would like more information about what's going on, please feel free to contact (withheld for archive). If you would like to email our representatives rather than mailing, here's the information...
