Name Day

Held the first Saturday in October, every year, NAME Day is a national event that takes place regionally. All the different NAME clubs plan a special day to get together and make a one-of-kind project. Along with the national project, the CMS day typically includes door prizes, raffles, a silent auction, and an amazing potluck lunch. Not only does CMS spend the day making some our favorite things, but eating our favorite foods!
This year NAME is opening up its' vault of prior projects and making them available once again. You may purchase as many as you like! You must order in advance so be sure to check out the projects here.
