Walk Softly, Bake Lot's of Cookies and Use the Stick Only When Necessary!~By John Hamilton
San Andreas, CA...Outgoing CCWD Board President Bertha Underhill, was designated as the CCWD Outreach Ambassador. She is the "Hostess with the Mostest" always bringing in goodies for all of her peers to munch on so the Board appointed her to this position today. She has even been know to visit CCWD facilities out in the field with cookies as well. After she was appointed as Outreach Ambassador they handed her a bag of candy and a baseball bat...Let's hope she only has to use for the candy!...
