Hello, CLC Youth & Families! Happy Tuesday!
So the votes are tallied and the group the Youth are going to lift up this Lent is...Hoops & Homework of Framingham!
Starting this Sunday, as some of us are up at Calumet and others remain here, Youthful Members of the congregation will be asking us all to donate toward this wonderful after-school, academic-enrichment program for children ages 5 to 14 who live in public housing communities in Framingham. Here's a link to their webpage where you'll see why we want to volunteer there and support their work:

In particular, Hoops needs more financial support to offer better summer activities to the kids this year, when they're open 1:00 to 6:00 pm while parents are at work. It will be a long, hot summer and it will be wonderful if our congregation can raise enough money to support some cool, fun alternatives to "don't-have-much-to-do" for the kids.
More details will be coming along, especially thru our resident Seminarian Sharon as she used to work at Hoops & Homework! In the meantime, thank you, Youth, and thank you future donors of CLC. We greatly appreciate your generosity toward our neighbors in need this Lent.
--Most Sincerely, Gail W-R, your Y&F Coord.
