Success!

The Annual CORC Road Trip and Annual Member meeting just took place and can be considered a great success! Meetings were well attended, members helped give input about CORC's direction for the coming year, and people across the state got excited about issues.

It was great to visit the CORC groups in Richfield, Parowan, Cedar City, St. George, and Moab as well as to see the many members who were able to make it to Annual Meeting. All in all, hopefully everyone learned a little, met new people, and had a great time talking about social justice.

Here are some pictures from the events.
