Join us in celebrating Asher Alexander for CLF Network's Member Spotlight! ⭐️

❓ Why did you join CLF Network?
✔️ My initial interest stemmed from my love of nonprofit work and the desire to better my community in some way, but what really convinced me to join was the welcoming atmosphere.

❓ What is something different about CLF Network than other groups you've been a part of?
✔️ The sense of community. Almost everyone knows your name, and if someone doesn't they're always quick to ask. As an introvert, I can't think of a better way to branch out than by joining a group intent on building genuine connections while striving towards a common goal.

❓ What is your favorite project in the Network and why?
✔️ This might be cheating (it is), but my TWO favorite projects are Giving Tree and Children's Shopping Spree. As someone who benefitted from very similar programs while growing up, being in the position to provide that same relief to families in the community is an immense privilege.

❓ What do you do for work? Any recent highlights at work?
✔️ I've worked at Adventure Children's Museum for about five years now. Just this past year I was promoted from Assistant Manager to Visitor Services Manager, so it's been very exciting getting to grow into my new role and learn from the opportunities that have been presented to me.

❓ What are some of your hobbies outside of CLF Network?
✔️ Outside of the museum and the Network, you can either find me at home with my beautiful wife and our animals, or I'm playing trumpet for the Eugene Springfield Community Orchestra.

Asher's creativity has resulted in two sold-out Paint & Sip fundraisers for the Network in the two years he's been a member! He's already planning ahead for the next one. 🎨

In the meantime, join us for our Beginner-Friendly Volleyball Social!

Way to go Lane County! 👏 Spring cleaning + community donations = hundreds of pounds of clothes for Henry D. Sheldon Alumni & Community (Oregon) students to receive at no cost! 👚👕

🌸 Our spring Clothes for Kids campaign finished on May 20, and even included some donations for middle school and elementary school-aged children.

💚 We could not do this clothing drive without the support of our partner organizations hosting donation barrels, and the generous donations of our community!

❗️Our Coats for Kids winter coats drive starts around September, so save those winter coats your kids are growing out of and watch for an announcement in a couple months about when and where to drop of your donations!

CLF Network members had so much fun volunteering for the Adams Elementary Carnival! From serving food to styling wacky hair to running various carnival games, volunteers enjoyed interacting with families and kiddos during this free community event. We receive anywhere from 30 to 40 staffing requests per year for projects like this, and we’re always eager to help out when we can.

Have an event coming up that benefits kids? Need volunteers for a fundraiser so your hard-working staff can enjoy the event for themselves? Reach out to learn more about one of the many ways CLF Network supports children in Lane County, and how we can collaborate together to set up the next generation for success. 💫

🍻🍹🥤TOMORROW, 5/20: Don’t forget to stop by our Beer Call & Social with CLF Network! where drinks are completely covered by the incoming executive team from 5:30 to 7:30pm!

Last week, CLF Network members and guests volunteered for School Garden Project's famous Flannel Ball! We had a ball ourselves helping them to celebrate their 25th year of operation in Lane County.

School Garden Project empowers children through hands-on learning in science, food cultivation, and stewardship of garden ecosystems. They partner with schools in the 4J, Springfield, Junction City, and Bethel districts, teaching kids all about how to grow their own food. CLF Network is always excited to work with them, whether through volunteering for their flannel-themed gala, granting funds for their essential programs, or cleaning up garden beds.

Don't forget to join us for our upcoming Beer Call & Social with CLF Network!, where the incoming executive team will buy everyone's drinks for two hours!
