3. Welcome to our Gala Event
We warmly welcome you, our treasured family, friends and
community partners, to the 39th Annual Celebrity Chefs Dinner!
We are so grateful for your participation in this exquisite evening,
as your support enables us to continue providing the highest quality
care for our residents and a dynamic, supportive work environment
for our entire CLC team.
Our story began in 1968 with the vision of Bob and Mary
Wagner; they saw a future for individuals with disabilities which was
unheard of in prior years. They saw hope for inclusion, opportunity,
and richness of life. Since then, more than 200 individuals have
grown and become integral parts of their communities supported
by the loving care they received at CLC. Through the many
donations of time, talent and treasure from passionate and caring
people like you, we have been able to expand our organization to
accommodate independent apartment living and respite support
for children and families.
Tonight, Chef Milos Cihelka and his dynamite team of the
finest chefs in the Metro Detroit area have come together to create
a truly unique and superb dining experience for you. They have
done this in support of our mission: to provide quality residential
living services to individuals with developmental disabilities, in safe
and comfortable homes that are welcomed in their communities,
while actively promoting wellness of body, mind, and spirit by
providing an enriching environment of opportunities for all of our
residents. We are in the business of impacting the lives of beautiful
people who love their communities, and we are unendingly grateful
to have you at our side as we work to continue building the Wagner
family legacy.
I sincerely wish you an enjoyable evening of fabulous food
and drink, silent auction and raffle fun, and spirited conversation.
To our friends and family of CLC, thank you again for your support!
