HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CGS (and MANY more)!
CGS held its 15th Anniversary Celebration on May 21 at the Columbia University Faculty House. Everyone enjoyed wonderful company, a stunning view, delicious cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and danced to rollicking live music. Amidst all the fun, the night revealed that CGS has a number of skilled and spirited dancers. A Fundraising Journal with well wishes and ads for CGS was also distributed. You may view the Fundraising Journal in PDF Form.
