The Cultural Communications Club (CCC) held their first meeting of the new year. The primary focus of the meeting was on the upcoming Special Olympics, which will take place on Feb. 4 in Lakewood. CCC members were encouraged to sign up for the three shifts offered at the event, and up to 12 National Honor Society (NHS) leadership hours will be awarded to participants. To get involved, club members must turn in permission slips to council member and junior Maura DeRose of Middletown by Jan. 10.
