A little extra jingle at the right time
A local employer was able to give their employees yet another reason to celebrate this holiday season as we look to 2022. We love to see stories of hard work and dedication recognized, and the Community Living Association (CLA) at Houlton did more than say “Thank you” to their staff this week.
Meet some of the locals of CLA
CLA posted on its Facebook page that it would be a “very happy day at CLA …” with the arrival of bonus checks for their employees. CLA is a private, non-profit organization that supports people with developmental disabilities and helps individuals become The services provided by CLA and its staff play a central role in the lives of many individuals and families in Southern County Aroostook.
CLA has posted a few employees receiving their bonus checks with employees who have worked for CLA for only a few years, and some who have given more than three decades to the organization. Jason may sound familiar to some of you. When not at the CLA, you can catch him at your local gymnasium referring to basketball in the winter, and he is a member of the local softball refereeing council and the soccer refereeing council. He had devoted his time to the youth and families of the region. The bonus check is well deserved, maybe use some of the funds to support a team other than Alabama!
Working for an organization for 33 years is an incredible accomplishment, and Deb Anderson was another CLA employee who received a bonus check as a thank you. A nice touch from the administration of the CLA to highlight some of their employees. Thank you to the employees of the CLA for all the work you do and continue to do in the lives of so many people.
