The CLC is wishing Wyoming a great YARD SALE weekend! We welcome unsold donations of good used, children's clothing and toys but please drop your adult, decor, or small appliances off at the new thrift store in downtown Petrolia, I'm sure they would welcome good used items. Thank you for your support, and keeping our 24/7 donation shed ready for what we are able to use.

Our next 2 Shop Dates for June, the CLC will be closed for July. The donation shed continues to be open 24/7, even in July.

We are NO longer able to accept items like strollers, car-seats, cribs, highchairs, etc. There are Facebook sites that do offer FREE items, please offer, or look there.

Do not donate home decor, household items or adult clothing, (unless maternity or clothing teens would wear). Thank you.

You are welcome to bring your child's outgrown clothing with you on Shop Days. That's how it all works, families paying it forward to families.

What an amazing day at Eats Beats and Boutiques!
The CLC (Community Life Centre) would like to thank the organizers for the town-wide street party, there was something for everyone!
We would also like to thank Great Pretenders Creative Education for donating "giveaways" for the day. Our team loved handing items out, and having people stop by and chat about who the CLC is, and how we work.
Special mention to our CLC organizing, setup, take-down and scheduled "onsite" volunteer teams, thank you for making this day happen. Many hands made lighter work.

Don't forget to check the CLC booth out at Eats, Beats and Boutiques across from the Coffee Lodge in Petrolia, today Saturday June 6 1pm to 9pm. We have some goodies from Great Pretenders Creative Education to give away while they last. Shuttle locations are available for parking. Check the Eats, Beats, and Boutiques page for locations.

Those wonderful Corunna Legion Sew Crazy Girls have been sewing like crazy - we know where they got their name! Such a beautiful and generous talent they have and share. The CLC will find a fair way to share your works of art. Thank you so much.

It's Volunteer Week!
And we wanted our turn to say how much we appreciate ALL the the volunteers at the Community Life Centre (CLC). Without all those labours of love behind the scenes, and on Shop Days, we couldn't do what we do!
Thank you!
Each of you are appreciated!
