In october, the cmc collected interviews with local veterans as part of the carroll county history project. Over 20 local veterans participated by sharing their story or interviewing fellow service members. Interviews were part of a special veterans day broadcast on channel 19 and became a part of the carroll history projects permanent online video archive. In addition, carroll hospice invited cmc to share a video of the program at their annual, we honor veterans breakfast. The goal of the veterans oral history collection is to not only honor our local veterans service and sacrifice, but also preserve their memories and provide a resource to help educate future generations.

“During the 2018 fiscal year staff reviewed internal processes to improve, organize, code, and track functional expense. An emphasis has been placed on coordinating the coding of expense to align with strategic and operational initiatives. As a result, more expense was attributed to management and general expense than in prior years as codes were revised. Mid-year adjustments to the expense recording will result in more accurate attribution of functional expense going forward.”
