February 13, 2023 saw the retirees of the CVCR area gather at MHAB in Plattsburgh.   Co-chairs Gary VanCour and Carlos Madden led our business meeting.  The nominating committee is looking for people to fill several positions.

Following a wonderful lunch, we heard from President of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Associations, Jacqueline Madison.  We were treated to details of this organization and their work.   Plans are underway for a 'field trip' to their site in the spring. No. Country Underground Railroad Historical Association
