It is already September of the first year of the FightCRC/ColonClub merger, and there are still a number of "loose ends" that, in my opinion, need to be taken care of by the two merging organizations. Some of these issues pertain to Colon Club digital and material assets that existed before the merger but seem to have disappeared after the first of the year.
This post is a placeholder for a list of "loose ends" that I am working on. When I am finished with the draft I will post my findings here on this thread.

Re: Loose ends ..
UPDATE:
Already more than 10 months have gone by in the first year of FightCRC's merged 'Colon Club' program existence, but still not much evidence of Colon Club-based activities or events: No Colon Club announcements on Colon Talk for March 2024 CRC Awareness Month. No Colon Camp scheduled for the summer of 2024. No "On the Rise" magazine published for 2024, etc. The only activity I've seen so far was the September announcement of a Colon Club-sponsored Kimberly Fund grant award.
Why is it taking so long for them to launch a FightCRC-powered 'Colon Club' program? I don't understand. It seems to me that the Colon Club is weaker, not stronger, now that the merger has taken place.
And now that a Program Manager had been officially assigned to manage the Colon Club program, what about other possible members of a management team? Will there be an Operations Officer, or a Finance Officer, or a Communications Officer, for example. And will there be a steering committee for developing an annual plan of action?
And why does the FightCRC list of programs not mention a Colon Club program?
