Monthly Programs
Cultural, educational, entertaining and engaging, CLC’s monthly programs offer a venue for networking, social interacting, teaching and learning. We provide a platform for Native American cultural educators, artists, performers, and others to share their knowledge and talents with the community. Our intention is to educate and unite people to support Native American People and causes.
CLC provides snacks and beverages. Other times we ask the community to bring pot luck dishes to share. Most programs are for adults, unless otherwise stated. There is an area where kids can play, but they must be supervised by an adult at all times.
Take a look at our upcoming events…

FAQ:
What should I bring? – Bring what you can: a dish, a snack, drinks, or bring a friend! It’s okay to cook or to bring something premade. Outlets are available for your crock pot.
Can I come if I don’t have anything to bring? – Yes! Please just bring yourself. We’re glad to see you.
It is okay to come late? – Yes! We can’t wait to see you, so come when you can. You’ll arrive at just the right time.
Where do I put my dish? – Please bring your dish through the kitchen so we can be sure to collect a portion for the spirit plate.
Do I have to wait to eat? What’s the protocol? – Yes. Please refrain from eating, picking, or grazing until we have given a welcome, words of thanks, and invited our guests and elders to eat.
Can I eat if I don’t bring my own dinnerware? – Yes, you can. We hope you’ll observe our protocols to cut down on trash and labor as a gift to the earth and our volunteers, but if you forget or you’re new there are dishes available.
Thanks so much for coming! We hope you found this helpful!
