Hello Friends welcome to CTPCOA. I would like to explain how we got started only 7 Christmas's ago. We in the aerospace business took a fall after 9-11 so Christmas was going to be hard that year. Jamie Tindall (President of CTPCOA) called his family into the living room. Now this being the first family meeting ever the girls (Jeny & Deni)were a little nervous but when he started to explain what was going to happen over the next month things got a lot better or you could say they got a lot less serious, with all the laughing that happened that night its a wonder they got anything done. Jamie told Dona, Jeny and Deni that they were going to split the month up between the four of them, they would each plan an event for that night. they could have a craft time, movie time, spiritual time, or an outside activity. also he though in a twist they each were given numbers and a calender on that calender each day was labeled with a persons number they were planing that day but also there was another number that person had to give the person planing the day a gift something under $5. as the month went on they had more fun family time than they had, had in years the fact that money was tight wasn't important but the family time was. CTPCOA helped us become a closer family and also realise more of what the Christmas season should be. as the years have gone by things have changed a bit we have added a few members to our family and we don't do as many days of the week. the spirit of Christmas is still the reason we celebrate with each other. this year we would like to share our Christmas with you and your families and hope that we will inspire you to try something new with your family like we did. Our first meeting is tomorrow night i will tell you all about it tomorrow.
