Job Seeker

From a recent grad and community member:

"I have a Bachelors degree in Classics and would like to get a Masters in Social Work. To better direct my future studies, I would like a job at a local social service agency where I can gain hands-on experience in the field. Since I am interested in pursuing clinical social work, I would prefer any work that would allow me to work directly with clients. I am open to all populations, but I work best one-on-one with adults."

The Renovated Kitchen

Through the amazing generosity of Mike Beck, community member, RCIA sponsor, and co-owner of Beck/Allen Cabinetry, the CSC was able to renovate the house kitchen this summer. Mike took care of the cabinets and countertops, and past CSC residents chipped in to pay for the updated electricity, appliances, lighting, and flooring.

Why the house kitchen? One former resident, Terry Quinn, says it so well here:

Do you remember how much life at the CSC revolved around the kitchen? Think of how Gary’s high-pitched laugh would fill the room in the late morning when he came down for coffee. Or think of late-night conversations with people you bumped into on your way home—and how you suddenly didn’t feel as tired as you thought you were and stayed up even later into the night. Do you remember the impromptu feasts made up of leftovers from catered campus events or giant boxes of whatever was on sale at Sam’s that week? Did you ever meet someone in that kitchen—a student or some passing-through guest of another resident—that you felt immediately connected to?

If you've ever spent much time at the CSC, you know that the answer to those questions is a resounding YES.

There are several other parties to thank for their time, talent, and discounts. :)

Yvonne Sloan of Y Designs: Thank you for coordinating so many components of the kitchen. If you're looking for home or commercial designer, call Yvonne at 432-1081.

Jose Fernandez: Thank you for installing so many components of the kitchen. If you need someone to do pretty much any kind of work at your house, call Jose at 636-485-9974.

Schaeffer Electric: Thank you for providing such incredible service for the multitude of installations we asked you to do.

Francis Leisure, TMI: Thank you for taking the time to remove and reinstall the fan-coil units in the kitchen so we could completely redo the floors.

Now for some photos:
