About the CSC

efficiently and cut down on duplicating services thereby enabling us to further stretch our limited budgets It further benefits us just to be aware of the other resources available to those we are trying to help

especially where it pertains to referrals from similar organizations when writing grants Wersquore mainly using the CSC as a means of open

communication We meet quarterly in Pell City
