Brief histories of CUCC

Anne Elleman, CUCC's historian, wrote and collected brief histories for the congregation's work around 1976.  This may have been in preparation for the search for a new pastor.  Anne was also gathering items for the time capsule in cornerstone for the Vaughan Fellowship Hall wing (dedicated December 20, 1977).
