Director’s Corner

By: Ami Mizell - Flint

So much has happened at the San Angelo Clubhouse since our last newsletter, I almost don’t know where to begin.

In September, we had a Wizard of Oz-themed Homecoming Dance, sponsored by Superior HealthPlan, where the Clubhouse morphed into the Land of Oz and we danced (and ate) the night away. Can’t wait to do it again next year with a new theme!

In October, the San Angelo Clubhouse hosted it’s first NAMI Texas in San Angelo meeting! The National Alliance on Mental Illness is a grassroots organization that that supports, educates, and advocates for people with mental illness and their families. The San Angelo Clubhouse is excited to host this important community resource.

In November, we raised funds and awareness for Homeless Youth, raising more than $500 for Covenant House and starting some great conversation about the issue of youth homelessness in our own community. We also celebrated with a HUGE Thanksgiving meal. It was so wonderful to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with our Clubhouse Family.

In December, we decorated the Clubhouse for Christmas, decorated stockings, exchanged gifts as Secret Santas, and enjoyed another Clubhouse Family meal together.

All of this, with weekly socials, daily activities, employment assistance, and our new Clubhouse Coffee To-Go delivery service (more on that next month!), have kept us super busy!

Looking forward to a fantastic 2020~ If you haven’t been to the Clubhouse, or haven't been in a while, come and see all the great things happening. We look forward to seeing you soon!
