Colleen with a "C"
We are experiencing growth at Activ8Her and with growth comes transition. God has led our East Syracuse Chapter co-coordinator, Jody Armstrong to step away from her role in East Syracuse to become a coordinator of a brand new chapter in Oneida, NY. We are grateful to welcome Colleen Longden as the new co-coordinator of East Syracuse.
