A Stepping Stone in the Right Direction

CLH excitedly teamed up with eleven:eleven again this year for the firm’s third annual after-hours “Give Back” night with a scarf party.  CLH donated its free “hostess” infinity scarves and additional personal care items for the women and children at the “Stepping Stone Shelter for Women.” Stepping Stone Shelter provides women and minor children who are victims of domestic violence with a range of critical services, including 24/7 crisis lines & intervention, temporary shelter, clothing & food, transitional housing, counseling, and support groups.

The Final Four

Congratulations to the Porter County Storm baseball team for their performance in the Ohio Valley Regional tournament!  The Porter County Storm, the host of the competition, made it to the Final Four, but unfortunately lost to the ultimate champions of the tourney, Blue Lick KY.  Both Bob Lange and Lisa Bedwell’s sons played in the tournament, and Bob and Lisa both played essential roles in organizing the tournament.  Great efforts, team!

A Brew-by-Brew Account

The 3rd annual Portage Brewfest, which directly benefits the Portage Township YMCA, was held in mid-October this year.  With a wide range of local and specialty brews available, brewfest-goers enjoyed an afternoon of sampling.  The Brewfest also had several local food trucks and vendors on site, highlighting the unique specialities available in the region.  CLH contributed to the event in several ways, including through a silent auction basket featuring an outdoor fire pit set, on which several staff members promptly outbid each other!

2nd Annual Homeward Bound Epic Shopping Cart Parade Raises Funds to Benefit the Homeless

The Epic Shopping Cart Parade, held in September this year, aims to raise awareness about homelessness in the community and also raises funds to benefit organizations whose missions are to provide shelter, educate, and care for those who are homeless.  Sharon Staback was quoted in the Michigan City News Dispatch, saying, “We just want to help people get back on their feet.”  The CLH team proudly raised the most money of any participants in the parade and was also the winner of “Best Cart”!

Hitch Your Dragon to a Star

The annual Dunebrook Dragon Boat Races were another smashing success this year, and CLH’s team did not disappoint.  The firm was a sponsor of the event, and a dedicated group of staff members participated in paddling the 41-foot boat together to race against other local businesses and individuals.  The races directly benefit the programs and outreach of Dunebrook, a child advocacy organization.  Get ‘em next year, CLH!

A Round of Golf Claps!

Congrats to Kylee Norman for her fundraising efforts for the local Boys & Girls Club!  in August, she held an event at her home for the benefit of the Boys & Girls Club that raised over $3,000.  The band New Groove played some rockin’ tunes to make the event even more lively.  Kylee was also a part of the winning team in the annual golf outing, which raised $10,000!  Way to go, Kylee!
