Telephone Workshop: Traditions Part 3 June 19, 2010

Dear CLA Member,

As you may know, our third telephone seminar on the CLA Traditions—which covered Traditions 7, 8, and 9—will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 2:00 PM. These seminars are being held to educate our Fellowship about the Traditions and to have a discussion on how Traditions are applied.

The seminar runs for two hours and will consist of a presentation on each Tradition, followed by a period for sharing on the Tradition covered and for questions and answers. 

To access the seminar, call (712) 775-7000, and use the access code of 335269. I am also attaching a flyer which will give these details.

Isolation and shame are two major factors from which many clutterers suffer. Sometimes it takes a long time to really see improvements in our physical clutter and our thinking. We welcome you! You are taking a bold step forward and you are not alone! Remember: Progress, not perfection! The information posted here, the tools, readings, phone meetings and resources support us all in our process to recovering from cluttering.
