Community Living Celebrates 45 years of Awesome

Aug 11, 2021

It all started in a small rural schoolhouse in Mountain Grove, when a group of parents and concerned citizens held a meeting to discuss how their children were going to get an education as well as to strive for society acceptance and inclusion.

That was the beginning of the Community Living movement in our area. Those parents formed a local association to work for a better life for their children. In 1976 we were known as North Frontenac Association for the Mentally Handicapped we changed our name to Community Living-North Frontenac (CL-NF) in 1991 and received our Letters Patent on August 30th, 1976.

Today, almost four and a half decades since incorporation as a non-profit, CL-NF is celebrating with the launch of its upcoming 45th anniversary and our slogan for this year’s celebration is “Celebrating 45 years of Awesome!”.Starting August 16th and running until September 10th CL-NF will have representatives visiting various businesses throughout Central and North Frontenac to promote CL-NF’s “Wheel of Awesome”. For 1 dollar people can spin the “Wheel of Awesome” for an amazing opportunity to win various prizes. Full details will be posted at the various businesses. On September 10th we will have a final BBQ celebration at 14395 Rd 38 (Garrett House [property) and all are welcome. We wish you best of luck on your spin.

All COVID-19 guidelines will be followed.
