  • “OMG!! This is absolutely wonderful and so informative. I started going to CC when they were on 8th Avenue so I never knew anything about its early beginnings (especially the fact that it was started by Alvin). The committee did a fabulous job with the compilation of this wealth of information. I got goose pimples just reading through the history, timeline and a few of the faculty sections so far. We all have pictures, old programs and our memories but for me this reading brought to life all the beautiful souls that have touch my life and helped make me who I am today. Thank you for all the hard work involved with this website launch and thanks for including that picture allowing me to be a part of CC history. God if only I could be that skinny again!!! “
