This week's Zoom bingo was another hit! Nichelle was a fantastic caller again! Matt, Tony, Jennifer, Tracey, and Big Tam joined in on the fun with a guest appearance from Miss Lagando! Winners this week were Tony for 2 Bingos and Jennifer for 2 Bingos!

It's a toss-up as to who sends in more footage of-- Woody or Nichelle. This week Jeff was the clear winner!

We think that Nate's sign is about the vessel, not the seeds?

John's Usual Excuses & Apologies-- I hope that everyone is doing well. CLI staff are all fine and we're scrambling to start expanding programs again next week. However, you'll need to be patient as we'll be figuring out each person's services one person at a time. Things will be different. CLI is not allowed to offer large group programs anytime soon. We will be working with each person's SSA to figure out what is best for that person-- and how we balance what people want & need with what we're able to do. There will be some challenges and growing pains. This crisis has closed some doors but cracked others. I believe that we need to push forward and figure new/better ways of doing things. I don't see any point of crying about things that are no longer possible. The reality is that CLI services will have to shift. So as we start talking about our homes again-- let's all be ready to have honest conversations about how we design the best fit for you & your family.

Click HERE to see CLI's Revised May 2020,  Post-COVID Revised Program Brochure The upside to this post-pandemic reboot is that you get to customize everything. The downside is it's much more of a pain in the tookus to talk each little detail to death vs. just grabbing cafeteria menu A, B, or C. We'll all get through this though. And if we do it right and we're happy with the new programs that we've built, a year from now, we won't really remember the headaches & delays. In the meantime, enjoy your holiday weekend. Hang in there. We're definitely in the home stretch now. I look forward to seeing how we can all work together to make CLI even better! John

Firelands Local Update:

From James Johnson, GM-- Firelands family. Regular schedules have resume this week. Customers are very happy to see me come. I never knew I was that popular. Although, Margeret thinks they just glad I'm picking up their paper to be shredded. I am sure you all agree it's me. The schedule is also filling up for bulk pick ups and bulk drop offs. One thing is for sure.... People have spent a lot of their time cleaning out old files. Memorial day is right around the corner and I wanted to thank everyone who has served in the military for the sacrifices they have made. I would like to thank the families of all of our service men and women for supporting them. Visit www.firelandslocal.com!

UPDATE Regarding the 2020 FREE Community Shred Day-- CLI will NOT hold our annual free shred event on a specific day-- BUT we will still provide YOU with 500 pounds destroyed for FREE -- all you need to do is call James Johnson to schedule at 419-921-6400 or email him at James@firelandslocal.com I would also like everyone to welcome  Tommy Toyota to the team. He is a welcomed edition and seems to be a very hard worker.
