Gift Cards Fundraiser

Our next gift card order will be placed June 10th

 This program allows you to order gift cards from over 500 places and pay face value for the gift card.  CLIC gets a small percentage of every gift card ordered.  You get to buy the gift cards from one place without racing around to different locations.  We would be happy to send you the complete list of cards available (this area and across the nation).  Just email us and let us know you want the list.  Your check gets made out to CLIC and the cards will arrive around March 9th or sooner.  Besides the normal holiday gifts, these cards are a great way to say thank you to someone or give that college bound student a send-off present.

Homework Helpers
Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
3-5p.m.
$4.00
Our Homework Helpers program is open to any student from any school district or home school situation in grades 1 through 8 who would like a boost in completing their homework.  Under the watchful eye of an educational consultant, High School and College volunteers come to CLIC to work one on one with younger students to help them complete their assignments and work on study and organizational skills.  You do not have to attend every session.  This is a drop in program.  Students from the F-M schools can take a bus that drops them off behind our building.  We ask that students bring the necessary work with them, as we do not have books and worksheets from every school.  We will supplement when assignments are completed with additional reinforcing materials including computer programs, worksheets, books for reading, etc.  This year, we will not be including snack money in our fee - If kids want to buy snack, our vending units are here - but we encourage you to send healthy snacks with your kids, or give them money to buy from our vending machines.  We have water bottles and juice (Capri Sun) for 50 cents and a variety of items for 50 cents in our vending machines.  Candy bars, such as Snickers are 75 cents from the vending machine.  We have found that too much time is consumed with purchasing snacks and we don't want that to take away from the educational purpose of our center.  So, we are deemphasizing that and promoting getting the student's work done!!

 

Bus Numbers (in the F-M district) - If riding the bus, the student must bring a note to the office to tell them that they are going to CLIC and get a bus pass - When the student gets on the bus, they must tell the bus driver that they are going to CLIC.  Any questions, call us at 682-4200.

Pillowcases for Patients

Every Wednesday beginning at 1:00 p.m.
Cost: Free

Every Wednesday afternoon at CLIC, we will be sewing away.   If you are a sewer, and would like to have a quick lesson on how we put them together, stop by on a Wednesday after 1p.m. and we'll show you.  We have lots of pieces cut out so you can choose the pieces you wish and either take them home and sew them there, or sew them here at CLIC.

If you are not a sewer, we'll teach you.  You can also get involved by talking to your friends and family and gather up any cotton or cotton-polyester fabric that you can find and donate it to CLIC.  If the fabric is such that you would like to put your head on it, it is fine for our project.  We use fabric that is 44-45 inches wide.  We can use pieces as small as 14 inches long.  Donations can be brought to CLIC anytime.  If we are here, come on in and drop it off.  If we are closed, please leave them by our back door and we will bring them in when we come in.  Kids, adults, seniors, anyone is welcome to help out.  No reservations necessary - just come down.

 

 

Friday Night – Kids Night Out Programs

RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME - by either calling CLIC at 682-4200 or email us with the child's name, phone contact and age.  If no one signs up by Thursday evening, the program for that week may be cancelled.

CLIC’s Gift Card Program
Ongoing Deadline: the first day of each month

Gift Card orders - Gift card orders are placed on the first of every month.  We can get gift cards to many, many places all over the U.S. If you want to know if a place in on the list, call us (682.4200) or email us. We'll check the entire list and get back to you. If you wish, we can email the list to you and you'll have it for your reference.

These make wonderful anniversary, new home gifts, baby gifts, birthday gifts, babysitter gifts or night out gifts. The possibilities are endless. They can also be used as cash for your purchases . . . so if you need to buy a lot of stuff at Home Depot, for example, why not get gift cards. The cost to you is the same and CLIC will make a small percentage.

We'd be happy to send you the updated list of gift cards available.  Just email us at clic144@windstream.net and ask us for the list.

One on One Computer Instruction
email emphasis
Cost: $25.00 – total for as many sessions as you like

Do computer classes scare you? Are you afraid you can’t keep up? Then learn at your own pace at CLIC with one on one instruction – as often as you want – for as long as you wish. Our goal in this program is to familiarize you with a computer and open the door to email. Start communicating with friends and family without talking on the phone. Send a message to someone, ask a question, or share good news!! This program is designed to get you on board with email whether you have a computer or not. Once you understand how it works, and we set up an email address, you can use a computer anywhere to stay in touch – at CLIC, at the library or at a friend’s house.

Call CLIC at 682-4200 to set up your first lesson!!
