My Name is Kaitlin Secord, and I recently began my volunteer work, and I am already confident that my efforts are making a difference. I am currently working directly with June Enright, helping her to archive old Raphia newsletters onto coterc.org.

I hope that members choose to read some of these articles – I know I have before scanning them onto the computer – and realize how much the organization has evolved. COTERC has some amazing stories to it’s name, and has been through so much. When I first got the offer to volunteer at COTERC, I’ll admit I wasn’t even sure what the letters stood for, let alone the goal of the organization. So I did some research, on what I can say is a very well constructed website, and found that it’s a place I would be happy to work, and a cause I would be happy to help. So even sitting at a desk, scanning old newsletters, I’m learning, I’m helping, and I’m making a difference. And for that, I’m truly grateful.
