Over Christmas break, CLI is finally installing a wheelchair accessible ramp into Kenilee Lanes! We also did a light remodel upstairs in the NHS' Bowling Team's Boy's & Girl's locker rooms.
The plan is to complete the full inside remodel, making the entire first floor & lanes completely accessible, including the kitchen, around April/May of 2022.
Thanks to fundraisers and the generosity of many individuals and organizations-- CLI has raised enough money for the inside work, but we still need another $60,000+ to renovate the exterior facade-- including a new automatic accessible door.
This project is exciting because it benefits many more people than just CLI clients and people with developmental disabilities. There are so many other citizens who benefit from having accessible spaces that allow them to be included. We know senior citizens, military veterans, and many others who were able to attend a family gathering or social function thanks to CLI's other accessible spaces.
