Another cool place to escape the Ohio mid-day summer heat is the library, although there are those who'd rather keep working on their cornhole game . . .
John's usual--

It was a quiet week at CLI last week with just a handful of us working. Hopefully everyone made good use of the break. CLI staff will be back in full swing today, refreshed & ready. We've got quite a bit in the works!

CLI's next cornhole tournament will be held at 38 West Seminary on Friday, July 29th. Admission is $50 per team which gets you a chance at both the tournament & series prize money + every team gets 1 reverse raffle ticket as part of their entry fee. Each raffle ticket has 1 in 300 chance of winning $1000! Even if you don't play, come out and visit. It's a fun time.

Have a great week. Make the most out of the summer weather. It will go by quickly.
John

FAQ of the week:

Q : Does Firelands Local LLC (aka "the workshop") really pay people $9.30 per hour to work on buckets or shredding and other jobs?

A: Yep! James has more work than he can keep up with this summer. If you don't need any at-work support, you can contact James Johnson directly to get yourself on the clock. However, if you think you'll need CLI supports during the day, contact us at CLI by clicking the button below and we'll help you talk to your SSA about what supports you need.
