Message from the President: Fall 2023

One of our most important functions as an organization is providing deserving students with scholarships. Yet when I talk to the CLC’s students, I am reminded of the deeper impact being created. 

When our students empower themselves through education, they become a beacon of inspiration, and everyone around them begins to see new possibilities. Brothers and sisters start having new confidence, friends start seeing new opportunities, and their children are inspired to chase their highest ambitions.

This is the real magic of what we do. It’s about helping our students lift up everyone around them. It’s a chain reaction that keeps growing, showing just how powerful perseverance, generosity, and education can be. It’s all about our students leading the way, and it begins with something as simple as a scholarship.

Inspired by our students, we invite you to contribute to this chain reaction. Share your experience and appreciation for the Friends, the CLC, and the CLC’s incredible students with your loved ones. Pass along this newsletter, and help spread the word about the extraordinary transformations happening within our community. Your involvement amplifies our impact, weaving you into this story of community empowerment. 

Have a wonderful holiday season.

Louis NeJame

President, Friends of the CLC
