August is Family Fun Month! That’s pretty convenient, given our Community Fun Day is this Saturday (OK, that was a shameless plug, but we had to). August is also National Peach Month, Happiness Happens Month, and International Peace Month — along with about a dozen other titles. With all of those designations, it’s bound to be…
Summer months are normally jam-packed with fun excursions, outtings and adventures. With the weather finally agreeable enough for us to spend quality time outdoors, the options are pretty much endless. From days at the beach, to relaxed backyard cookouts with family, there isn’t much opportunity for boredom. And so, it makes sense that July, which falls right…
Wow, what a year it’s been so far! From our Spring Fling to our summer walk, we’ve enjoyed every bit of every season. We were so happy to be able to share our first-ever #CommunityStrong Walk with our community supporters, and it really was a blast! We are so grateful for the support of our…
It’s hard to believe it’s already mid-June. Our walk is just under two weeks away! Time really is speeding by.

Here at CLI, we know how lucky we are. We are surrounded by an absolutely amazing community that supports our mission and programs. The people and businesses of Frederick are kind, compassionate and giving, and we’ve been fortunate enough to benefit from that generosity time and again. When it came time to start getting prizes…
If you get WHAG, you might have seen CLI on the news recently. Last week, we were featured on the TV station twice — for two very different reasons. The first story was about our transportation initiative. Many of you probably remember our Giving Tuesday fundraiser last November. We were so grateful for the donations…
It’s officially spring, and it’s finally starting to feel like it. The temperature has been rising (albeit mixed with more than a little rain), and the flowers are starting to bloom. As we near April, our commercial’s run in Westview Cinema reaches a close. We’re so very thankful for the sponsors who made this dream…
