First Annual CBN-MC Christmas Mass and Reception a success - Success is in the eye of the beholder, and on December 13th there was a Christmas twinkle in the CBN-MC eye. More than 35 members, sponsors and friends enjoyed a beautiful Mass at St. Elizabeth's Church celibrated by Monsignor Macfarlane. He was assisted by CBN-MC member Rory Crawford, a Permanent Deacon at St. Peter's in Olney. The reception following Mass was great fun, with good food, wine, beer, soft drinks and networking. Past CBN-MC President John Treseler spoke briefly on 2 subjects. First, why he supports CBN-MC in it's effort to assist Catholic education (John and his firm, the John C. Grimberg Company, suggested, founded and continue to be the largest supporter of, the CBN-MC Need-Based Scholarship Program. Second, John gave us a lesson in the joy of wine - one of his favorite subjects, and, apparently, one of ours as well.

With the success of our second evening networking event, the Board of Directors plans to schedule quarterly events in 2012. Check the "Save the Date" Section on this website for future dates.
