NCCD Information - Repeated last newsletter 

Cancellation of July Community Mass 

Thank you for your understanding regarding of this month's community mass.  This was due to Powercore needing to shut off the power to the site to connect the new building.  This was completed last weekend and the process ran very smoothly.
