Greetings!

An organization's life journey is much like any person's path, full of twists and turns that include amazing moments of inspiration, possibilities for great change, and endless opportunities for growth and excellence.

so no need to worry:

rice sprouts

 

Today, OCOM celebrates sprouting rice with great joy (certainly appropriate in our current soggy spring) by sharing with you some amazing milestones in our life journey: relocation, new leadership and an inspirational OCOM graduate award. Enjoy!

 

In good health,

Gretchen Horton

Director of Community Relations and Annual Fund
