We’re working hard to spruce up the new CWC space at 72 Main Street in Carman…lots of painting, cleaning, and replacing fixtures on the go!

We have a lot of people to thank for making this all possible…

❤️ Carman Development Corporation for the donation of the space
❤️ Al Wiebe (aka Wieber) for freshening up the paint
❤️ Vern’s Carpets for the flooring
❤️ All the amazing volunteers who came out last night to get the space into top top shape!

It takes a village and we couldn’t do it without the support of the community! Keep following for more updates!
