Clerical
has a dynamic team of members working
on many different projects together
each day. Members use computer
skills and creativity to generate forms, posters,
and announcements. They take
charge of office tasks (laminating, photocopying,
keeping files on clubhouse articles, compiling information and statistics), while
reaching out to others through calls
and cards (Birthday, Christmas, and
Get Well). Members also work hard to produce a regular newsletter,
entitled "The Connection."
"Members
learn business, office, and other
skills in a quiet, flexible
environment. A typical day
includes assigning jobs, such as
telephone outreach, statistics, work
register, and work sent
from other units. In this way,
Clerical is connected to every unit as a 'hub' for the other parts
of Connections. Clerical is
the central
unit for learning and
using computer skills."
