“The Child First” video features never-before-shown historical footage of Max Goldstein and CID. Virginia J. Browning Primary School Find it at cid.edu. Last fall, when CID board member Virginia Browning became a lead donor in “Making Conversations Happen,” CID’s Centennial Campaign, she named the CID Primary School. Mrs. Browning is a longtime enthusiastic friend of the children. Her generous gift will go a long way toward helping them gain a solid educational foundation. If you would like to see a list of naming opportunities for participants in the Centennial Campaign, please contact Ann Holmes at [email protected]. This 5-minute video will warm your heart.
