Free Energy Sustainability Workshop for Non-Profits

LOGAN will host a free Energy Sustainability Workshop for non-profit organizations Friday, January 27, 8:30am - 12:30pm, at LOGAN Center. The workshop is a community service component of the energy grant LOGAN received from the Indiana Office of Energy Development last month (see story below). Sponsored by NIPSCO and the IUSB Center for a Sustainable Future, the workshop will offer practical information on how becoming more "green" not only makes sense but will help your organization save money.

Welcome Reception for Clint Bolser Feb. 21

The start of the new year has been exciting, as Clint Bolser has taken the helm as LOGAN CEO. His first weeks have been busy with getting familiar with LOGAN and staff.

Clint is very enthusiastic about getting to know the LOGAN Family. If you haven't met Clint yet, you will get an opportunity soon. We are hosting a welcome reception at LOGAN Center on Tuesday, February 21 from 4-6pm. This will be a perfect time to drop in and shake hands with LOGAN's new leader.

As part of the CCC Grant, LOGAN will host a free Sustainability Workshop for non-profits on January 27. Sponsored by NIPSCO and IUSB's Center for a Sustainable Future, the workshop will show organizations how to save energy costs. Click here for more information and registration.

The program will feature Krista Kellner, figure skater with autism (glidingstars.org), and the Notre Dame Figure Skating Club; a demonstration by River City Rovers Sled Hockey Team (sledrovers.org); and an opportunity for autographs and skating with the Notre Dame Hockey Team and Figure Skating Club. Bring your friends and family!


Group Home Construction Moves Along

Fair weather has allowed construction of a new group home on Cottage Grove Ave. to move along at a brisk pace through the winter months. LOGAN recently toured the home with South Bend Heritage Foundation representatives. Carpenters were installing wall board the day we visited. Construction is expected to be completed this spring.
