As the holiday season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and you who have helped to keep our CARMAH-ship steady through 2020. It’s been quite a year for us all! We hope that these words find you well, and that your holidays and New Year be filled with joy, delicious food, and much light within and outside! We look forward to seeing you again in one way or the other in 2021!
