CLCLT Acknowleges Donation
We are pleased to receive a generous donation from
Morgante-Wilson Architects. We especially appreciate the support of an
Evanston business. As we work to adapt our operations to new and
frequently changing market conditions, this gift helps us to make
orderly changes in our plans and methods. Despite challenging
conditions, we remain focused on providing affordable housing options
for low- and moderate-income families who live and work in Evanston.

Success Never Tasted So Sweet!
Thanks to Carol Balkcom and Betty Ester, who baked dozens of sweet
potato, pumpkin and apple pies. Jill Graham and Vicky Daugherty
joined forces to bake almost two dozen apple pies with marvelous
lattice crusts.
Thanks to all those who purchased and enjoyed the pies. We appreciate
the donations from those who could not pick up their fresh, home-made
pies. Through the efforts of board members, staff and volunteers, we
gained nearly $500.00.
Among her many talents, Jill Graham conducts pie baking classes from
time to time. Anyone interested in learning the secrets to fine baking
should contact our office. We received many requests for information
about additional pie sales. We need more bakers to meet the demand!
