A Message from C4K
Dear C4K Family,
This will be the last of our weekly Newsletter & Activities Resource. We hope these have been a source of inspiration to our members and provided valuable connections to generous community initiatives during this complicated time. There is no substitute for the in person Clubhouse experience but it is important to know there are always opportunities for learning, making, and sharing.
Now that the school year is over, C4K is actively working to add Summer workshops and identify opportunities for our members. With guidelines and timelines related to COVID-19 being unclear, we are working on activities that can be supported online in the near term with hopes of being together in the coming months. Health and safety will always come first in our decision making.
Stay tuned! Program updates will be added to the website and announced via social media.
We miss you! Stay safe and in touch.
Sincerely,
Kala, Tricia, Jill, and Colin
