2009 Donors
CLC staff, Board of Directors and clients would like to take this opportunity to thank our 2009 donors. With your help, in 2009 CLC was able to represent over 400 of Minnesota’s foster children. In this troubling economic time, CLC is so fortunate to have so many dedicated, consistent and generous donors. As we move through 2010, we are going to need your help more than ever as we try to expand our list of donors to new individuals, law firms, and corporations. We are so excited about the opportunities to try new things and meet new friends. After all, foster children belong to each and every one of us. Any investment in their lives is an investment in our communities and our future. If we can dedicate ourselves to providing these vulnerable children stability while they are in the system, they are more likely to transition into productive adults. You helped make that happen! With the deepest appreciation, we thank you!
