John's usual--
We're pretty light on content this week, picture-wise. We'll do better in the next issue. Things have been pretty hectic over the past month as CLI clears out parts of the workshop that we've used (and filled every corner of) for the last 50 years. So much stuff.
CLI's had to clean house because the Huron County Commissioners purchased the workshop building from the Huron County Board of DD this past summer. CLI will continue to rent approximately 70% of the workshop production floor, the shred room, the loading docks, and the small recycling shred from the Commissioners. However, Huron County will be using the rest of the building for multiple initiatives.
The former workshop office space at the west end of the main hallway is now home to the newly formed Seneca, Crawford, and Huron Counties Area Transit service. CLI is able to continue using 2 of the offices off the eastern end of the main hallway for ADS & office space, but at some point early in 2024, we'll probably have to vacate those spaces too, but I like to tackle one obstacle at a time. My son always used to tell me when he was in high school and I was lecturing him about something that he should worry about-- "that sounds like a problem for future Graeme". By the way, if you like the PROCRASTINATION poster under the bowling pics-- visit despair.com for more of their "demotivational" posters. It's pretty funny stuff.
While downsizing our footprint in the old workshop building has been a fair amount of work, we're excited to share the space with other agencies. We're also excited that the Commissioners will be making some long overdue upgrades to the building (heat, AC, sidewalks, parking lots & quite a few interior renovations. Change is almost always harder than no change. But, long-term we'll be ok as we get used to sharing the building and the parking.
Next week is Thanksgiving and CLI regular programs will be closed on Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th for the holiday. We'll still be providing regular community employment transportation like we usually do over this break.
Have a good week. Send in pictures for next week's edition if you have 'em!
John
