John's usual--
There are LOTS of stuff going on starting in June. CLI will be offering OOD "Summer Youth" experiences again this year. This program offers high school students the opportunity to explore different job/work types such as retail or custodial or food service or perhaps another sector. CLI is using the bowling alley as one site as it allows people to try all three of those job types in a very customer-service forward way. This will be a fun site for the kids that have picked it-- and it will be a win for area kids because we've used it as an opportunity to offer bowling day camps & clinics (see the flyer below). There seems to be a lot of interest already.
Friday, June 17th will be our first get-together with All Ports Yacht Club at Venetian Marina since 2019! This is always a fun day that starts with a powerboat cruise around Sandusky Bay, then an awesome lunch before they send us on our way with lots of swag. We'll be sending more information home with people a week or so ahead of time. For those of you who normally don't spend your day with CLI because you have a job in the community-- if you want to go with us on the 17th-- we'll probably have some extra spots. Let us know.
June 24th will be our 1st of 4 cornhole tournaments with prizes going to each individual winning team and for the series. The final Saturday event on September 24th will include a chili cook-off & reverse raffle tickets. We'll be selling those raffle tickets all summer for $25 each.
Those are my updates for this week. I don't know if everyone is following COVID-related news these days-- but hospitalizations are climbing back up, and that new "Monkey Pox" thing sounds terrible. Let's all keep practicing the skills we've learned over the last two years to keep ourselves & others well (handwashing, social distance when possible, cleaning surfaces, etc.).
Don't forget that CLI will be closed next Monday (a week from today) for Memorial Day. Have a great week!
John
